Music Under Glass invites guests to stroll through the tropical gardens at dusk, escaping the winter chill with live local music. These free concerts take place from 4:30 to 6:30 in the Sunken Garden, where fire code regulations prevent seating. The music is simulcast to other garden areas with more seating available. Beer and wine are available for purchase.

Folk/Americana Singer-Songwriter Jaspar Lepak (pronounced JAS-per LEE-pack), writes feminist folk songs from the heart—poetic, honest, and “always evocative” (Mostly Minnesota). Her clear, pure voice and classic folk sound have earned comparisons to Kate Wolf and Nanci Griffith. Her 2024 album So Strong reached #6 on the Folk Radio Chart, following her 2021 album Desert Ghosts, also a Top 10 folk radio hit. So Strong weaves personal stories with urgent political themes inspired by women’s rights, caregiving, and loss.

Now based in Minneapolis, Jaspar performs locally and tours nationally, and will be joined by keyboardist Ben Cook-Feltz.
