Muses: An Evening of Jazz

Enjoy signature cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and live music. Headlining the night will be a highly anticipated performance by Grammy-nominated musician, Emmy Award winner, and producer/composer Corey Wilkes.

Experience personal video materials of Chicago’s South Side history and culture that are typically kept in private collections with UChicago Arts’ South Side Home Movies Project. At 7:00pm hear a special rendition of A Love Supreme interpreted by Elmhurst University Faculty Jazz Combo. At 8:00pm Corey Wilkes will captivate audiences with his mesmerizing trumpet playing and unique vision. Wilkes’ collaborations extend beyond the world of music, as he has also worked with visual artists such as Theaster Gates, Nick Cave, Lucy Slivinski and Rashid Johnson, creating multi-disciplinary performances that blend music, art, and culture.
