Experience music that crosses borders and generations as the 26th World Music Festival Chicago comes to the Beverly Arts Center!

The afternoon features two dynamic 75-minute performances by Grammy Award-winning klezmer pioneers The Klezmatics and acclaimed Mexican son jarocho ensemble Los Vega.

For four decades, New York’s The Klezmatics have brought new life to klezmer music, blending Yiddish traditions with elements of jazz, gospel, folk and punk. Los Vega carries forward the vibrant musical heritage of Veracruz, Mexico, combining deep family roots, spirited musicianship and the rhythmic energy of traditional son jarocho.

Presented as part of World Music Festival Chicago, this free, citywide celebration showcases the sounds, traditions and artistry of musicians from Chicago and around the globe.

Admission is free and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Early arrival is highly encouraged.
