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.
Justin Dillard is no stranger to the Terrace having performed numerously with different bands, but this year makes his Terrace debut as band leader. Together with his band, The Aggregation, Dillard plays legendary tunes with original arrangements, creating a new experience for those who love the classics with a new sensibility.
