Music in Bloom

Now in its 5th year, this magical evening of music al fresco will be presented June 8 & 15, 2025.

Boston | Experience the gardens of New England Botanic Garden at golden hour and discover a series of musical performances along the way. Music in Bloom, a roving concert experience, features five small ensembles performing works by 14 living composers. Strolling along a half-mile walking route, guests will discover musicians tucked in a variety of garden scenes, from the majestic Reservoir Terrace to the secluded Secret Garden. Music in Bloom will be presented June 8 & 15 at 6pm at New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill in Boylston, MA. 

This year marks the 5th anniversary of Music in Bloom. What began as a Covid-era event, has now become a beloved tradition, offering a musical experience unlike any other. Last year’s performances sold out with the event welcoming over 1,000 audience members to experience the splendour of New England Botanic Garden in this unique, magical, and truly unforgettable way. 

“Music in Bloom is one of my favorite Juventas events,” says Artistic Director Oliver Caplan. “Our partnership with New England Botanic Garden began in 2021 and has blossomed into something truly special; what began as a response to challenging times has grown into a joyful celebration of nature, community, and new music.”

This year, Music in Bloom’s June 15 performance falls on Father’s Day and is a great way to celebrate with Dad or anyone who loves music and nature. 

Seating will be available at each of the five stations, but guests are welcome to bring lawn chairs or blankets. A selection of delicious food and drink offerings will be available from the cafe on site. Guests may also pack their own picnic. Please note that outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted at the Garden.

Tickets to the concert are $1-35 and must be reserved in advance. To purchase, visit https://nebg.org/music-in-bloom/.
