Tuesdays on the Terrace Douglas R. Ewart, Quasar

About

Enjoy an evening of free music on the MCA’s Anne and John Kern terrace and sculpture garden with our annual summer performance series highlighting artists from Chicago’s internationally renowned jazz community.

Perhaps best known as a composer, improviser, sculptor, and maker of masks and instruments, Douglas R. Ewart is also an educator, lecturer, arts organization consultant, and all around visionary. Using a diverse range of media, Ewart weaves his remarkably broad talents into a single sensibility that encourages and celebrates the wholeness of individuals in culturally active communities. Each performance or production by Ewart reflects time-tested structures while also incorporating his most immediate experiences of America and the world, and taps into his many creative engagements with collaborators.

The Quasar performances features Ann Ward (voice, shekere, piano), Edward Wilkerson (reeds, percussion, didgeridoo), Darius Savage (bass), Dushun Mosley (drums), and Douglas R. Ewart (reeds, percussion, didgeridoo).

Hosted by Al Carter-Bey, WHPK 88.5 FM, University of Chicago.

Join us for free live jazz concerts every Tuesday, June 2–September 29, 2015, 5:30–8 pm.
