This is happening TODAY!! and TOMORROW!

https://acmusic.org/events/thirsty-ears-festival-2024/

Thirsty Ears is Chicago’s own classical music street festival. It’s been going on for years and is one of my absolute favorite events. There’s great music plus everything else you could ask from a street fair—food, drinks, beer, art and activities. If you’re cool enough to stay until evening tonight😎, you’ll be treated to the Sound of Silent Film festival at 9:30 pm, which is 10 or so short films accompanied by newly composed music played live for you by the Palomar Ensemble (and me!). If you come out Sunday, I’m playing a set of unique and passionate pieces for Cello and Piano with the Wurtz Berger Duo at 7 pm. The full lineup is below. I would love to see you there!

Saturday, September 7 2:00 - 11:00 PM
Sunday, September 8 1:00 - 9:00 PM
1758 W. Wilson Ave., Chicago

“It doesn’t happen often enough...” Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

Chicago’s only classical music street festival is back for the ninth year!

On September 7 and 8, Access Contemporary Music will close Wilson Ave. between Ravenswood and Hermitage for two days of stellar musical performances, craft beer from Dovetail Brewing, food trucks, community vendor booths and kid-friendly activities and performances both days in Kidzone.

This year’s lineup features sixteen ensembles and soloists on the main stage plus a special performance of ACM’s popular Sound of Silent Film Festival on Saturday at sundown.

A $15 suggested donation for entry is requested and benefits the ACM School of Music, a non-profit organization teaching musical creativity to 300+ students in three storefront locations.
