This summer, the Penn Museum is bringing back international music concerts every Wednesday night, starting June 18. Titled “P.M. @ Penn Museum,” the series is geared to “after-work” crowd as a good way to wind down by listening to some beautiful tunes in Penn Museum’s outdoor courtyards (or inside the museum if it rains), and enjoying drinks and light fare from the museum’s Pepper Mill Cafe.

This year’s lineup features a colorful mix of performances – from Samba, Turkish fusion, and rhythmic Afro-Cuban jazz  to American-influenced music, including bluegrass, swing, and good, old-fashioned rock n’ roll. Colombian band El Caribefunk will kick off the 2014 Summer Nights series with their powerful rhythm. To see the full lineup, click here.

Concerts begin at 5 p.m. at the museum’s Stoner Courtyard. Admission to each concert is now $10 (no more $5 tickets!) but still includes general Museum admission (the galleries stay open until 8 p.m.!). The series will run through Sept. 3.
