The Back Deck Returns!
Entering its sixth year, the popular Back Deck concert series returns with a robust season of performances featuring big international names and regional superstars in jazz, classical, and genres in-between. Under the direction of producer Gregory Burrus, the 2025 season promises a dynamic variety of memorable concerts under the stars. Patrons are invited to bring chairs, set up picnics, and enjoy the sunset for this special program.
