CELEBRATE THE OPEN ROAD! 

On Make Music Day, June 21, join a musical walk in the park with Chicago-based vocal quartet Fourth Coast Ensemble. The group will perform “Journey Songs,” an interactive event produced by the International Music Foundation and made possible by the Zell Family Foundation and Night Out in the Parks.
The singers’ voices and piano will be amplified throughout Tom (Ping) Memorial Park, inviting passersby to explore, wander, stroll and amble along to a soundtrack of songs by Schubert and Vaughan Williams, international folk songs and contemporary classical music. Bring your walking shoes and follow the musicians throughout the park. Or set up a picnic and watch the moving celebration! Learn more about the Fourth Coast Ensemble here.
