MFA Concerts in the Courtyard

Spend an evening with Courtyard favorite Patty Larkin. 

Patty Larkin is part of the urban-folk/pop music phenomenon that spun off of the singer/songwriter explosion of the seventies, reinterpreting traditional folk melodies, rock, pop, bossa nova, drawing on anything from Dylan (Bob) to Dylan (Thomas). A self described “guitar-driven songwriter,” Larkin has wound her way through soundscapes of evocative vocals, inventive guitar wizardry and imaginative lyrics. Her songs run from impressionistic poetry to witty wordplay. She returns to the Courtyard for an evening of her signature performance.

All shows start at 7:30 pm.

The Calderwood Courtyard opens at 6 pm. Courtyard seating is limited; low lawn chairs and/or blankets are recommended. In the event of rain, concerts move indoors to the Remis Auditorium. Alcoholic beverages may be purchased in the Courtyard; state law prohibits the possession or consumption of alcohol purchased outside of the MFA. Please note that large bags, coolers, and tall chairs are not permitted. All bags are subject to inspection by Museum staff.

All tickets are general admission seating. General admission concert tickets can be upgraded for al fresco dining on the Bravo restaurant balcony for an additional $30 per person, $25 of which can then be applied to food/drink from the restaurant. To purchase this upgrade, or for additional information, visit any ticket desk or call 617-369-3395 starting at 2 pm the day of the concert.

In the case of inclement weather, the concert may be moved indoors to Remis Auditorium. A determination is made by 2 pm on the day of the concert and will be posted online and made available to anyone who calls the Museum. Please note that concert tickets may not be refunded or exchanged for any reason, including change of venue due to weather.
