Pack your picnic, grab your blanket and chairs, and chill your favorite beverages, it's time for Courtyard Concerts at Glessner House. Are you ready for a new gathering spot for an evening of fun with neighbors and friends, laughter, and music? The beautiful private courtyard is the perfect setting to enjoy some great local music and relax while dining al fresco on the lawn.

Our first concert of the season will feature acclaimed Chicago singer/songwriter Emily Hurd. Described by the Daily Gazette as “About equal parts Shawn Colvin (vocal beauty, heartland roots), Tori Amos (pianistic punch) and Maria Muldaur (bluesy buzz)” Hurd’s thoughtful lyrics and amazing voice are a perfect complement to a summer evening.

Doors open at 5:30pm, concert begins at 6:00pm. Optional tours of Glessner House provided at the conclusion of the concert.

Our Courtyard Concert series is generously underwritten by a grant from Lakeside Bank.
