Northwest BachFest Live announces the annual July outdoor concerts, now called Music In Manito, held in Manito Park in Spokane. The 2023 BachFest season celebrates the organization’s 50th Anniversary..

Music In Manito in July 2023 features a program Artistic Director Zuill Bailey planned to begin with the exciting 2023 Grammy-Winning Attacca String Quartet performing the first half of the program. For the second half, the YouTube sensation Simply Three with covers from Adele, Coldplay, Gershwin, and more takes the stage. Both evenings offer the same program.

The concert site opens at 5:30 pm for pre-concert picnics in both table and lawn seating areas. Two large Jumbotron video screens, one in the front lawn and another in the back lawn, will bring the action on the stage up close to the audience. Lawn seating patrons supply their own chairs or blankets with no height restrictions on the open lawn. There will be no concession service at the concerts, and audiences bring in their own food and beverages with the addition of water encouraged for the warm evenings.
