Late Night at The Galleries - Picnic on the lawn: music & extended gallery hours

Bring a blanket, dinner, lawn chairs, and enjoy a Highland Park Strings Trio concert on our front lawn before taking a walk through our latest exhibit, InterConnectivity.

CONCERT:
The Highland Park Strings Trio consists of FRAN SHONFELD SHERMAN, the Co-Concertmaster of the Strings, Dr. JEROME TAXY, a member of the viola section, and Larry Block, Founder, General Manager, and Co-Principal Cellist. The Strings, called “the little miracle in Highland Park” by the Chicago Tribune, will begin its 43rd Season in October.

The Trio has been performing together for many years at Senior Centers and Retirement Homes plus on many occasions at the Chicago Botanic Garden. The Trio was honored to provide the music for Highland Park’s kick-off of its Sesquicentennial Celebrations and was featured recently in concerts and masterclasses in Highland Park’s Sister City—Puerto Vallarta.

The program for the Art Center event is called “The Magic Carpet”. It consists of light and well-known classics from around the world—perfect for a summer evening**.
