Good Vibrations

Join us for these FREE outdoor concerts at the Preminger Family Amphitheater, where performances blend old and new, familiar and unexpected — and where music becomes a way to connect, celebrate, reflect, and belong.

The Good Vibrations concert series celebrates the depth and diversity of Jewish musical expression, welcoming all who are curious, joyful, and ready to share in something meaningful. Come early, bring a friend, and be part of the music.
