Morristown, NJ — Gregory Burrus Productions is proud to partner once again with the Morris Museum to present the highly anticipated 2026 Outdoor Concerts on the Back Deck, a signature summer series that brings world‑class jazz, classical, Latin, and genre‑blending artistry to one of New Jersey’s most scenic open‑air stages.

Set against the backdrop of the Morris Museum’s elevated outdoor deck, this year’s series delivers a powerful mix of returning favorites, rising stars, and internationally acclaimed performers. Concerts run from June through September, each beginning at 7:30 PM, with member early access starting April 14 and general public ticket sales opening April 21.

Gregory Burrus, Artistic Curator and Producer, shared: “The Back Deck has become one of New Jersey’s most beloved summer music traditions. This 2026 lineup is our most diverse yet — a celebration of musical excellence across jazz, chamber music, Latin rhythms, and soulful contemporary sounds. We’re thrilled to bring these extraordinary artists to the community.”
