The courtyard of the Central Library in Copley Square, one of Boston's most beautiful spaces, is filled with music during free, one-hour concerts throughout the summer. The courtyard hosts music that ranges from jazz to classical and from world to folk.
Concerts are moved to Rabb Hall in the event of inclement weather.
Wednesday concerts are presented in partnership with Berklee College of Music and are generously sponsored by Brookline Bank.
