Jazz in the Garden: American Sounds

DC’s favorite summer concert series returns to the National Gallery of Art this summer with Jazz in the Garden: American Sounds. This season highlights both rising voices and celebrated performers whose work reflects the evolving landscape of American music. Kicking off May 22, the series spotlights artists from across the country performing across genres including indie soul-funk, alternative bluegrass, salsa, jazz, rhythm & blues, blues, Americana, and brass band music.
For over 20 years, Jazz in the Garden has transformed the Sculpture Garden into a vibrant outdoor stage, creating the opportunity for visitors to gather, enjoy refreshments, and experience live music surrounded by world-class works of art. This year, join us for fun, informal dance lessons before and during the concert on select dates.
