Saint-Gaudens Summer Concert Series
These annual concerts are generously sponsored by the Trustees of the Saint-Gaudens Memorial. The performances carry on a tradition by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who often held concerts in his studio for family and friends.
Concerts are held on Sundays at 2:00 p.m., in the Little Studio at Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site, during the months of July and August. Chairs are available on the pergola and in the studio on a first come/first served basis. Visitors are welcome to picnic on the lawn adjacent to the Little Studio.
Concerts are included with normal paid admission to the site.
