It’s that time of the year again when music lovers gather in Los Angeles for various free summer concerts in L.A.! One of the many free summer concert series we look forward to is the Skirball Cultural Center’s Sunset Concerts. This year marks the 26th season of their Sunset Concerts, and per usual, the 2023 season promises an unforgettable musical experience.

Embracing the richness of diversity, this year’s lineup features Jewish, African, and Cuban music, demonstrating the profound ability of music to forge connections that transcend cultural boundaries. Immersed in Skirball’s scenic hillside courtyard, the stage will come alive every Thursday at 8 pm from July 20th to August 24th.
