Now in it's 13th season, the Sunset Concert series is part of the Skirball's ongoing mission to explore world arts and culture in the context of Jewish heritage, immigration and the American experience.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. No reservations are needed and admission is free. Seating is first-come, first-served and early arrival is recommended. Parking is $5 (cash only). Carpooling is recommended.
