Those reluctant to let go of Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts”™ summer season are in luck: The Katonah-based center has one more “Concert on the Lawn,” featuring the Matthew Whitaker Quintet, 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19.

For “Concerts on the Lawn,” Caramoor asks guests to bring their own seating, as it takes place on the center”™s Friends Field. Picnicking prior to and during the concert is welcome, and concertgoers can bring their own or buy food and beverages on- site. The concert will take place rain or shine. (If it rains, it moves into the tented Venetian Theater.) Tickets are $35; $15 for children.
Can”™t make it? Caramoor”™s fall and spring concerts, held in the Music Room of the Rosen House, are on sale now at caramoor.org.
