Music is back at the cemetery!
The cemetery offers two series of musical events, one exploiting the remarkable acoustics of the mausoleum and the other taking advantage of the open space near the top of the grounds.
Music To Die For concerts are presented on the second Sunday of the month, June through October, starting at 2:00 p.m. They are held in Hope Abbey and last about an hour. The mausoleum remains open until 4:00 p.m., and audience members are welcome to remain and explore until then.
