Drieahus Museum Third Wednesday: playOUT! Chicago presents Spilling the Tea
The Driehaus Museum presents free music in the Murphy Auditorium every third Wednesday of the month, when the Museum is open late. playOUT! is a Chicago-based non-profit organization amplifying queer voices in classical music. Their vibrant chamber music experience, Spilling the Tea, celebrates the intersection of LGBTQ+ Pride and Black musical traditions, both honored in June. This program brings these parallel celebrations into an artistic dialogue, centering the work of Black queer composers who are shaping a new classical canon. Featuring contemporary string quartet works by Damien Geter and Shelley Washington alongside a newly crafted medley of beloved anthems from both traditions, Spilling the Tea explores themes of identity, protest, spiritual grounding, visibility, and joy.
