I’ve been able to go to the Chicago Jazz Fest and Blues Fest in Grant Park over the last couple of years.  The fun atmosphere and cheap ticket prices (can you say FREE?!) drove me to the festival site where I was able to enjoy some great music from local Chicago musicians.

These are just two of the examples of free music programs Chicago offers throughout the year.  Unfortunately, due to the economy (wah wah wah–what isn’t suffering because of the economy?), Chicago’s “music, arts, and cultural programs are facing severe budget cuts,” according to a posting on Pitchfork Music’s website.

According to Pitchfork, this week, the “Chicago’s City Council is figuring out the city’s budget for next year,” which means we need to let our voices be heard and save Chicago’s free music scene!

An online petition, created by Friends of Chicago Music, has been set up to save programs such as:

• Chicago Jazz Festival
• Chicago Blues Festival
• Summer Dance
• Music Without Borders
• Downtown Sound

So, sign the petition and save the music!

Watch a YouTube clip of B.B. King at the 2008 Chicago Blue’s Fest:

Tonight at 7:30, Gina Gibney Dance will present a preview of View Partially Obstructed as part of the NYU Tisch Dance Summer Residency Festival, followed by an informal reception where audiences can meet the artists and enjoy a beer.  The evening-length work, which will premiere this October at Baryshnikov Arts Center, examines the pure physical and psychological fact that we can’t see everything from every angle, nor can we put together all of the pieces of our fragmented selves.  By only seeing part of something, we live with imperfect information about ourselves and those around us.  In this new work, the view is partially obstructed for both the performer and the viewer. Artistic director and choreographer Gina Gibney said:

“We fill in what we don’t know with what we do know.  The viewer can think about this process and contemplate how we decide what we will and will not pay attention to – both internally and externally – and how we struggle to create a full view from incomplete information.”

This preview showing, including the post-performance beer reception with the artists, is pay-what-you-can.
