Back to All Events
1930s Chicago was bursting with music. Blues, jazz, gospel, and classical collided to bring thrilling sounds to the public. Estella Bonds, mother of composer Margaret Bonds, opened her home for Sunday musicales where leading artistic and literary figures, neighbors, and friends would gather to celebrate the music of the time. This program pays tribute to Estella—a trailblazing woman who created space for artistry and community. Tickets go on sale January 1.
