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 this Tuesdays on the Terrace, Heliacal Rising of Sothis performs some selections written by Sharon Udoh. The evening also features Yaw Agyeman, a Chicago-born and bred interdisciplinary performing musician, sound designer, cultural researcher, improvisor, and actor known most recently for his own work as a Mellon Fellow and as a vocalist in the band The Black Monks, led by internationally known artist Theaster Gates.
