Our concerts are performed at 2 primary locations:
Our free summer concerts are performed in the Kiwanis amphitheater at the Racine Zoo north of downtown right on the lake front. These concerts run from the begining of July until mid August at 7:30pm each Sunday. Each concert is about an hour long, so it will still be light out when leaving the zoo. While many folding chairs are available, you are welcome to bring your own lawn chairs or blankets, along with any other things such as coolers to make your stay more enjoyable. Depending upon the weather some of the concerts on the lake can be chilly, so a jacket may be needed.
Our formal Paul J. Bardeen Artist Series concerts are performed at the local high schools when available, a comfortable indoor and accoustically preferred location for our more formal concerts. Other locations have also been used such as the UW-Parkside Cinema Theater and the Gifford School Auditorium. There are 3 concerts performed for each series; the first in the Fall, one in the Winter and the last one in the Spring.
