This Week in Great Music: 6/18 – 6/24

By Sarah on June 18, 2012

In addition to all of the below shows going on this weekend, Make Music Chicago takes place all day on Thursday, involving over 700 musicians at 75 sites across the city. More detailed information can be found on their website, but I am mostly excited about SOUSAPALOOZA on Thusday, where dedicated music nerds will gather at Daley Plaza on their lunch breaks to play a bunch of Sousa marches. I am reasonably certain that I’ll be there. Time to dust off the clarinet!
