Saturday Salons


Join us for the new season of our Saturday Salon series at Primitive Gallery. The concert series, made possible through our partnership with Primitive, located in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago, explores the relationship between art and music in a new, more immersive way, combining art exhibitions and lectures with chamber music concerts. We highlight the ways in which the same themes and ideas are expressed through the two mediums. Each concert features a pre-concert discussion that highlights artworks from Primitive's immense and diverse collection relevant to the selection of music. All Saturday Salon concerts take place on Saturdays, starting at noon.
