Music in the Courtyard

The Name is Bond. James Bond.

This beloved summer event is back in the courtyard! Step into an unforgettable evening rooted in a tradition of bringing people together to experience the best of local music in a relaxed, open‑air setting.

This year’s program features music made famous by 007. From Dr. No in 1962 to No Time to Die in 2021, James Bond films have entertained generations of moviegoers and introduced some of pop culture’s most iconic melodies. Experience the cinematic magic of these songs reimagined by Brucemore’s Artisan in Residence Gerard Estella and performed by powerhouse singers Stephanie Goff and Allison Yoder.
