Heritage Conservancy Announces Concerts In The Garden Lineup

Heritage Conservancy's Aldie Mansion comes alive this summer with a free monthly concert series

Doylestown, PA, April 26, 2018: With the return of spring and warm weather comes the return of Heritage Conservancy’s popular “Concerts in the Garden” outdoor summer concert series at historic Aldie Mansion in Doylestown, PA. Now entering its fourth season, Concerts in the Garden will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of every month from May through September. Heritage Conservancy, an accredited not-for-profit land conservation organization dedicated to preserving and protecting our natural and historic heritage, welcomes community members of all ages to come out and enjoy music on the stunning back lawn of Aldie Mansion.

Just as William and Martha Mercer, the original owners of Aldie Mansion, held outdoor recitals on the lawn over 85 years ago, Heritage Conservancy continues that tradition by hosting Concerts in the Garden. While the historic elegance of the mansion serves as a backdrop, musical performances showcase the talent that we have right here in our community.

Each concert will consist of one twenty-minute opener and two forty-minute main acts as diverse as they are talented. Area singer-songwriter John Beacher has put together another great lineup for our listening pleasure. This year’s Concerts in the Garden will feature:

The popularity of this summer event has continued to grow. Last summer, over 1,000 community members attended a concert; that is nearly double the attendance from the year before! Heritage Conservancy hopes to top that this year. Concerts are held rain or shine; in the case of inclement weather, the concert is brought indoors to Aldie Mansion’s ballroom, which provides for excellent acoustics.

This event is offered free to the public thanks to donor support. This year’s Presenting sponsor is The Provident Bank Foundation; Supporting sponsor is Steaz Healthy Beverage LLC; Participating sponsors are Bucks Digital Printing, Dear Garden Associates, Inc., and Linda and Phil Cacossa.

Bring your own seating and picnic dinner if you wish. For more information about this summer’s concerts, visit HeritageConservancy.org or facebook.com/ConcertsInTheGarden.

Aldie Mansion is located at 85 Old Dublin Pike, Doylestown, PA 18901.
