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 the MCA presents Rotary Connection 222, an ensemble led by bassist Junius Paul and the Stepney Sisters to honor the legacy of Chicago-based music producer Charles Stepney, known for his work with Earth, Wind, & Fire, Ramsey Lewis, Minnie Ripperton, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, the Dells, and many more. Featuring Junius Paul, Makaya McCraven, Jackson Sheppard, and Brandice Stepney-Manuel, the band performs new interpretations of Stepney’s signature sound. Be sure to check out the Stepney sisters and iconic Chicago house DJ Duane Powell in the MCA’s Music Talk series on July 27.
