By Broadway World | Broadway World

Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), the leading global music rights organization that represents more than 600,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers in all genres of music and more than 7.5 million works, is partnering with New York real estate company Silverstein Properties, Inc. to host the 3rd annual concert series of free summer music performances in the park in front of Silverstein Properties' 7 World Trade Center (located at 250 Greenwich St.) in downtown Manhattan. The music festival, known as "7@7" is taking place on seven Fridays from July 12th through August 23rd, at 12:00 p.m. with an eclectic lineup of talented performers taking to the BMI stage.

The 7@7 festival - which was launched two years ago to celebrate the building's fifth anniversary - will offer local office workers, downtown residents, students, construction workers and visitors an opportunity to listen to a wide variety of singer-songwriter acts, as well as unwind before the weekend.

Performers on this year's BMI stage include 17-year-old New York-born Ali Isabella; indie rock sensation Motive; acoustic pop performer Jamie Bendell; and critically acclaimed rock star Aaron Brown. The lineup will provide a mix of sounds and serves as an extension of Silverstein Properties' efforts to enrich the Lower Manhattan community through a series of ongoing free arts programming.

Below is the schedule for the first four concerts of the 7@7 Summer Concert Series. The subsequent concerts will be scheduled as the summer progresses and details will be made available on www.bmi.com. The 7@7 Music Festival can also be followed at #BMImusic7@7.
