Metropolitan Commercial Bank Partners With Great Neck Plaza to Bring Swing to Summer Concert Series

Metropolitan Commercial Bank® recently sponsored the July 19th outdoor concert in the Jonathon L. Ielpi Firefighters’ Park in Great Neck Plaza. The concert, part of the 2016 Summer Concert series presented by The Village of Great Neck Plaza, featured the dynamic sounds of Phil Costa and the Something Special Swing Band. An audience of several hundred came out to enjoy the band’s covers of top swing hits of Benny Goodman, Harry James, Lionel Hampton, Count Basie and Woody Herman.

“We are honored to sponsor a local summer tradition that spans over two decades,” said Mark DeFazio, President and CEO of Metropolitan Commercial Bank. “We are committed to cultivating deep-rooted relationships between our Great Neck banking center team and the residents and businesses of Great Neck and surrounding communities. The Summer Concert Series provides us with an opportunity to foster these close-knit bonds.”

Metropolitan Commercial Bank representatives—including Vice President and Market Sales Manager George Lotto, Vice Presidents and Relationship Managers Ralph Ventura and Vivian Safir, and Assistant Vice President and Assistant Branch Manager Phablo DaCosta—hosted a welcome booth at the concert, handing out Metropolitan Commercial Bank tote bags, reusable water bottles and free ice cream bars to appreciative concert-goers.
