Free with museum admission"KRTU and the Witte Museum are proud to present a new continuous
installment of afternoon jazz concerts in the courtyard behind the Witte
Museum on the second Sunday of each month. The idea is simple: two
non-profit arts organizations helping each other and local musicians to
bring great entertainment to the public on Sunday afternoons in an
outdoor setting. Admission to the Witte will serve as the cover charge
for the shows. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and
blankets for an enjoyable, family-friendly afternoon of jazz in the
park. Food and drinks can be purchased from Beto's Comida Latina. This
series is underwritten by The Gunn Auto group."—from
