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.
This week we are all invited to the reunion with Family Junket! Featuring flute, saxophone, trumpet, and violin, with unique vocal compositions, layered percussion, and wavy electronic production, the band creates music best listened to with the family.
