Creative Greensboro’s Music for a Sunday Evening in the Park (MUSEP) Concert Series will return for its 43rd season June 5 with concerts in various park locations throughout Greensboro. The full schedule can be found at www.greensboro-nc.gov/MUSEP.
Concert goers will see and hear from some longstanding favorites including the Philharmonia of Greensboro, West End Mambo, and doby.

“Greensboro loves live music,” said Ryan Deal, the City’s chief creative economy officer, who leads Creative Greensboro. “Local bands are an important part of what makes our city vibrant and we know that music is a powerful tool for community building. After two years of virtual and hybrid concerts, we look forward to welcoming our neighbors back for a full summer of in-person concerts at parks and other green spaces throughout our city. Our concert lineup this summer offers a broad range of musical acts and, new this year, the community can expect to find food trucks and art activities onsite as well.”
