City of PIttsburgh 2023 Summer Concert Series Schedule

May 13, 2023

CitiParks' Office of Special Events has announced its concert schedule for the upcoming summer 2023 season. Three concert series will feature 22 events free to the public, including a July 9 performance by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. 

“Stars at Riverview” will once again bring local artists to Riverview Park on Saturday evenings throughout the entire summer.  Concert-goers are invited to bring a lawn chair or spread a blanket on Observatory Hill for incredible musical entertainment sponsored by the Allegheny Regional Asset District (RAD). Each week concerts will be followed by a showing of “Dollar Bank Cinema in the Park”.

“Bach, Beethoven, and Brunch” is a fan-favorite that entertains among the gardens of Mellon Park.  Presented with support from WQED-FM 89.3, attendees can satisfy their appetite for classical music on Sunday mornings, accompanied by a “Best Brunch” competition during intermission. Join us this season as we celebrate 50 years of WQED along with a return of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra to the program.

Jazz enthusiasts can relax on the lawn at Highland Park to the sounds of performances by Pittsburgh’s finest musicians during the ever-popular “Reservoir of Jazz” series. This series is supported by the Highland Park Community Council and the Allegheny Regional Asset District (RAD).
