VISUAL ARTS + MUSEUMS

The Rothko Chapel presents the Summer Music Series. This summer, the Rothko Chapel presents a music series of four programs that recognize the integral role of music to the sacred experience and the history of the Chapel. As an art form, music speaks an international language and has the capacity to bind diverse people together through a shared experience. It can nurture interfaith understanding and has the transformative power to enlighten the mind and spirit. The programs will be held at the Rothko Chapel, 3900 Yupon Street, and are free and open to the public.
