From there, the Dark Star Orchestra brings the tour to Peekskill, Northampton, Portland, New Haven, Worcester, Ithaca, Concord and Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.

The band traditionally plays the New York City area over Thanksgiving Weekend and this year’s concerts will take place at The Paramount in Huntington on November 24 and 25.
