About Sosnick Courtyard

The DSO’s Sosnick Courtyard is an open, flexible seating venue off of Parson’s Way serving as a dynamic, innovative, open-air “fourth stage” at the Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center that strives to bring together diverse communities in a highly collaborative and inclusive performing arts and green space. Audience members have the option to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets in a first-come-first-served open seating area or reserve VIP picnic tables. Enjoy a cold beverage of your choice from our outdoor bar and an evening of live music under the stars.
