Summer Music Series

David Danzmayr, conductor

Join us for a three-concert festival! Spend a starlit evening on the grounds of Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, with three different programs of world-class orchestral performances each night. Pack a picnic and enjoy live music performed against the backdrop of the illuminated John F. Wolfe Palm House. Bring the whole family and join us one hour before each concert for music and garden inspired children’s activities on the Wolfe Terrace (behind the stage). Performances are FREE and all ages are welcome!

No outside alcohol is permitted. Pack a picnic or enjoy food from the Conservatory’s Garden Cafe food truck. Wine and beer will be available for purchase.

The gates include: Gate nearest the main Conservatory parking lot; Gate nearest the Broad Street entrance & The Children’s Garden; Gate on the southwest corner of the Grand Mallway, nearest the Adventure Center parking lot; Gate south of the Grand Mallway between the Davis Center and the Conservatory building.
