This concert was inspired by Eastman Entertains: At the Movies Exhibition, an array of beautiful table settings, creatively themed tabletops, and lush floral arrangements. We encourage you to visit this remarkable exhibition before or after the concert. Please reserve your museum tickets in advance and note that museum and concert admission require separate tickets. Museum admissions details available here. 


Eastman Entertains: At the Movies returns for its fifth year, on view June 9-27 in select areas of the museum and mansion. Created by community members and businesses, sixteen creatively themed tabletops, table settings, and floral arrangements are inspired by popular motion pictures including Beauty and the Beast, Big Night, Julie and Julia, The Lone Ranger, and The Queen. The Dryden Theatre will screen some of the titles from this year’s display, including The Wizard of Oz and Sunset Boulevard. Eastman Entertains: At the Movies is organized by the Eastman Museum Landscape Committee.
