The event will feature a jazz performance by the Lesser Lakes Trio. The trio, Jamie Breiwick (trumpet), John Christensen (bass), and Devin Drobka (drums), is a collaborative venture of sonic storytellers, educators and musical souls.  Hailing from Milwaukee, the trio is a regional jazz powerhouse.  In their first visit to the museum, the trio will work through the songbook of legendary Jazz pianist, Thelonious Monk.

The Harlem Renaissance Museum in Madison, Wisconsin is the only museum of its kind dedicated to one of America’s most creative movements. The museum showcases live and visual exhibits and serves as a performing arts venue, all designed to celebrate the rich music, art and culture of the Harlem Renaissance movement of the 1920s.  It has quickly become one of the most reliable places to hear and enjoy jazz music.  The museum also features educational programs that include outreach to schools, opportunities for independent study, and artists in residence.

The museum draws upon both new and traditional tools of communication, interpretation, and presentation to provide a diverse public with a dynamic, innovative and welcoming center for learning through the performing and visual arts.

 The suggested donation for the event is only $7.
