New Haven, Conn. (April 13, 2026)— The 2026 Twilight Concert Series at the historic Pardee-Morris House will kick off with the exciting big-band sound of Java Groove, playing everything from Dean Martin, and Louie Prima to Sting, on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., (rain date, Thursday, June 25, 2026). Grounds open for picnicking at 5:30 p.m.

The summer fun will continue July 8, 2026, with Old School 203’s high-energy blend of classic rock and pop from the 60s, 70s and 80s that will keep the crowd dancing and singing along.

On July 22, 2026, Avenue Groove will bring R&B, funk and dance music with fantastic vocals to the PMH stage.

The lazy days of late summer will bring an evening of contemporary and smooth jazz by the Doug Jones Group, featuring Jones on sax, flute, harmonica and wind synthesizer, on August 5, 2026.

To close out the season, PMH is proud to offer the rootsy soaring harmonies and red-hot picking of Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters on Wednesday, August 19, 2026.
