Our Summer Performance Series includes more than 40 free and ticketed concerts in the most beautiful outdoor settings.

We award the first Pierre S. du Pont prize at the Longwood Gardens International Organ Competition in June, and welcome back the renowned Philadelphia Orchestra in July.

Classical, jazz, rock-n-roll, indie-pop, folk, bluegrass, and more... our summer sounds await.
