Tuesdays on the Terrace | Tromblau & Friends
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, trombonist and composer Emma Blau brings Tromblau & Friends to the MCA terrace, exploring the intersection of Jewish music and Black American music. An effective performer and creator, Blau blends jazz, prayer, and improvisation to craft compositions that challenge boundaries and celebrate freedom. With Tromblau & Friends, her Chicago-based collective, she reimagines tradition through sound, creating music that is both rooted and innovative.
