Water Music on the Rocks

Saturday, October 3, 2020 – 3 PM Processional walk from 6018North to to Bryn Mawr Ave 

Join us at 6018 N Kenmore Ave at 3 PM on Saturday, October 3 to view our current outdoor exhibition Windows to the World outside and then walk together (socially distanced), led by Alexander Massa and his band to the water at Bryn Mawr Ave in a New Orleans-style funeral procession to honor the dead from COVID-19 and the Black and Brown lives lost to police brutality. 

At 4 PM we will begin Water Music on the Rocks – an annual series of live performances initiated in 2012 that highlights Chicago’s proximity to Lake Michigan – at Bryn Mawr Ave where it meets the water. Due to the Coronavirus, Water Music on the Beach has been relocated and renamed Water Music on the Rocks, since the performances will take place on the rocks next to the water. Performances by Simon Anderson, Ben Lamar Gay, AJ McClenon, Alexander Massa, Rob Simon, and others to be announced. Compositions and scores reflect, react to, or personify the sounds of water. Programming is a collaboration between Homeroom and 6018North.

Throughout the event, we request that visitors wear a mask. At the water’s edge, socially distanced spacing, is made of black fabric to represent black holes. Designed by AJ McClenon, they provide 6 feet social distancing measures to ensure the safety of everyone. In addition, we ask that you sign up here to limit attendance
