Ives Concert Park

We are devastated to share this sad news. 😥

Danbury lost an outstanding friend. Steve Greenberg was a terrific advocate for our city and one of the best people you could ever know.

Steve chaired the Ives Concert Park for many years and did a great job. There were many nights when we weren't sure if all of the numbers would add up and Steve always made sure they did. Danbury is deeply indebted to Steve..

My sincerest condolences to Lauren and the entire family. Steve Greenberg will be missed.

Another sad loss - Chick Corea, one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time.
Good friends with CT's own Dave Brubeck. Both masters have graced the
Ives' stage and loved the venue. I spent a little bit of time with him backstage
at the Saratoga Jazz Festival. He was all about mentoring young musicians
and gave my son some great advise. Great memories. Chick will be missed
by his millions of fans around the world.

Keyboardist helped Miles Davis usher in the fusion revolution and founded his own revolutionary groups, including Return to Forever
