Addabbo, Brady and Marshak to Co-Sponsor Annual Arnie Mig Memorial Concert

New York State Senator Joseph Addabbo, Jr. and local elder law attorneys Brady & Marshak will co-sponsor an outdoor summer concert of swing music on Thursday, August 25. The event will run from 7pm to 9 pm at PS 232, located at 84th Street between 149th and 151st Avenues in Howard Beach.

Admission is free. The event is rain or shine; in case of bad weather, the event will move indoors to the school auditorium.


Everyone is invited to come out for the annual Arnie Mig Memorial Concert and enjoy the music of the Big Band era. Frank Pedulla returns this year to lead "The Music Staff Swing Orchestra" in a concert to honor Mig, who for many years brought big band swing music to the community.

Addabbo said, “I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to co-sponsor this concert each year to remember Arnie for all that he did for his community.”

Bring a chair, your dancing shoes and come show love for the man who brought us music of the big bands for over 20 years.

For more information, please call Senator Addabbo’s Howard Beach District Office: 718-738-1111.
