★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,287 reviews · 1 hour · from $26Our pick

“really gorgeous music in a nice space that feels very local and intimate. they were nice enough that when my child was getting antsy during the performance we could hear the concert outside in the garden, but it's summer and the weather is nice. note that the chairs are padded foldable chairs. this is a good snack sized concert that doesn't take itself too seriously.”
