The MCA presents free live jazz concerts every Tuesday this summer during Tuesdays on the Terrace, presented by Macy’s. The MCA also has free admission all day on Tuesdays. On August 17, talented and prolific vibraphonist-composer Jason Adasiewicz performs with Mike Reed and Nate McBride. For a nice casual evening, bring your own blanket or rent an MCA lawn chair ($5 each) for a relaxing evening on the garden lawn.
