The 34th Jazz in June concert series continues today with a 7 p.m. performance by Pete Fucinaro.
This Nebraska native is a former member of the seven-time Grammy-nominated One O’Clock Band. Blending traditional and innovative saxophone styles, Fucinaro demonstrates a fluid approach to music through soft, cinematic orchestration and improvisational flairs.
The free public concerts begin at 7 p.m. each Tuesday in June in the Sheldon Sculpture Garden, west of Sheldon Museum of Art. A market offers food and drinks from 5 to 9 p.m. each Tuesday. The concert series is produced by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, with support from the Lied Center for Performing Arts.
Each concert features two sets of music from 7 to 7:45 p.m. and 8 to 8:45 p.m., respectively, with a 15-minute intermission.
New this year is the Kids Zone, hosted by the Lincoln Children’s Museum, which will allow children to play and make new friends as they listen to the music.
Jazz in June, which is Nebraska’s longest-running free concert series, will feature some of the top jazz artists in the region and nation throughout the month. The final 2025 Jazz in June concert is June 24 and will feature Sam Greenfield. A multi-instrumentalist, Greenfield has shared the stage with such superstars as Ed Sheeran, John Legend and Mariah Carey. Combining jazz, pop and funk. His performances captivate listeners with irresistible melodies, vibrant energy and infectious personality.
