The West Philadelphia Orchestra (WPO) will open the performances on July 11 with original music by the band members.
“We’ve had a lot of fun in the past – strolling through the gardens and fountains, strutting around with the kids and creating a wide, free-flowing environment,” WPO founder Gregg Mervine said in a press release about Garden Jams.
Other artists featured in this summer’s series include Zydeco-a-Go-Go on July 17, Glenn Bryan and Friends on July 24, and Guachinangos on July 31.
Each Garden Jams concert features happy hour cocktails, food trucks in the courtyard, and after-hours access to the museum’s galleries and exhibits.
General admission is $15, tickets are $5 for PennCard holders and free for Penn Museum members. After-hours admission to the museum until 8 p.m. is included in the ticket. Private tables and add-on experiences such as pre-paid beverages and private museum tours can be purchased in advance.
