Water Music on the Beach is a series of live performances that highlights Chicago’s proximity to Lake Michigan. The compositions and scores reflect, react to, or personify the sounds of water. This year we are partnering with Djaspora Productions to present works by Simon Anderson, Benelux (Helen Gillet, Lia Kohl, Katinka Klein) Marie Casimir and Meida McNeal, Move Me Soul, Brian Sandstrom, and more. Artwork presented by Moises Salazar.
Benelux iis the triple cello threat of Helen Gillet, Lia Kohl and Katinka Kleijn. Formed at the 2017 New Orleans Instigation Festival, they use their shared musical sensitivity and sense of exploration to meet, while at the same time expanding the group’s direction in each of their very unique individual expertise.
