Soak in the beauty of The Mount as soulful jazz drifts through the summer air. Our annual music series returns with Sounds of Summer, featuring an exciting lineup of live performances curated by jazz musician Michael Junkins. Bring a blanket, stretch out on the lawn, and enjoy a picnic—or grab a bite from the food truck in the Forecourt. Signature cocktails and refreshing drinks will be available at the Bar at the Terrace Café. Join us for an easygoing evening of music with friends!
In August, GATO6 returns to The Mount! Led by composer George Oldziey, GATO 6 is Austin’s premier Latin Jazz band. This high-powered, all-star ensemble performs Oldziey’s original music, which draws on his myriad world music and jazz influences. The band features locally, nationally, and internationally renowned artists. For this performance, GATO 6 is joined by Lenox’s own Suzi Stern, renowned jazz vocalist, lyricist, composer, and educator.
