Sounds of Summer

Experience the harmony of music and nature at Rotary Botanical Gardens

Sounds of Summer is a live music series featuring classical and acoustic performances in a breathtaking outdoor setting.

On select Sunday afternoons from May through September, visitors can stroll through the gardens while enjoying the sounds of harp, violin, flute, guitar, and more, performed by talented musicians from Rock County, Walworth County, Madison, and Rockford, Illinois.

Each Sounds of Summer event will feature a different selection of musicians, offering a unique experience at every concert. Special thanks to Edie Baran of ArtSpark Productions for assisting with musician selection.
