  • SMART Museum 5550 South Greenwood Avenue Chicago, IL, 60637 United States (map)

Saturday, May 14 from 12pm-10pm, performance time 1:45pm

In collaboration with the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago, Fifth House Ensemble curates a program celebrating the art and legacy of artist Bob Thompson. The program highlights similar inspirations of Thompson’s own work including musical representations of other visual artists such as Francisco de Goya, music influenced by New York City jazz clubs, and works by other artists of color. Fifth House collaborates with Nicole Bond, Jason Pallas and other members of the Smart Museum team to bring this interdisciplinary experience to life in a relevant, bespoke way for patrons and concert-goers alike.
