Tuesdays on the Terrace | Bethany Pickens’s Soulful Coalition

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.

This week, pianist and educator Bethany Pickens returns to the MCA terrace to celebrate her birthday with her compelling ensemble, Soulful Coalition. The daughter of legendary pianist Willie Pickens, Bethany has made her own mark as an influential performer and mentor, inspiring the next generation of musicians.
