Courtyard Concerts

________

Courtyard Concerts

Join us for an hour of live music in June, July, and August 2024. Musicians will perform in the outdoor area nestled in between the UK Dentistry Building and the Willard Science Building.

Concert 1: Thursday, June 20 from 12 - 1 p.m.
Concert 2: Thursday, July 18 from 12 - 1 p.m.
Concert 3: Thursday, Aug. 15 from 12 - 1 p.m.

Music provides a gateway to improved health and wellness, yet it is often overlooked as a mood-enhancing activity in our learning and workspaces. When shared with others, live music experiences contribute to increased social connections and improved perceptions of our environment. Additionally, there is some indication that music contributes positively to stress reduction. We look forward to enjoying a Courtyard Concert with you soon!
