About the Event
Summer Tuesdays come alive on the MCA terrace with free concerts highlighting artists from Chicago’s internationally renowned music community. Enjoy live music while relaxing on the lawn with your own picnic, or savor snacks and drinks available for purchase. Then head inside to catch the MCA’s summer exhibitions—we’re open late on Tuesdays and free for Illinois residents. For the month of July, Tuesdays on the Terrace celebrates the MCA’s major exhibition Dancing the Revolution: From Dancehall to Reggaetón. Join us all month long for standout performances highlighting music of the Caribbean.
This week Chicago-based Chillona lights up the stage. She is a powerful performer whose sound ranges from electro ballads to alternative reggaetón. She challenges the boundaries of genre and is redefining what it means to be a Latin Pop Diva.
