Thirsty Ears Festival Tenth Anniversary
Access Contemporary Music presents the tenth anniversary of the Thirsty Ears Festival: Chicago’s only classical music street fest.
For two days we’ll close Wilson Ave. between Ravenswood and Hermitage to feature performances from 18 stellar ensembles and soloists on the main stage.
We’ll also have craft beer and wine, food trucks, vendor booths and kid-friendly performances and activities. We’ll also reprise several scores from this year’s Sound of Silent Film Festival on the street Saturday night at sundown.
