The Theater's Mix at Six and Exelon Family Series will continue to bring diverse voices to its stage in Millennium Park, in an informal, inclusive setting. Mix at Six - 6 p.m. performances with food pop-ups, specialty cocktails, and opportunities to meet the artists - will feature jazz pianist Matthew Whitaker, Chicago native Amir ElSaffar with his Two Rivers Ensemble and a special appearance by jazz students from Chicago High School for the Arts (ChiArts), circus arts company FLIP Fabrique, and the U.K.'s Kingdom Choir. The Kingdom Choir, FLIP Fabrique, and Bangarra Dance Theatre will also perform on theFamily Series, with matinee programs designed to engage young audiences.

The season will open with the second annual Summer Jazz concert on the Harris Theater Rooftop, featuring New York-based saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin and her band SoulSquad. The fall will also feature two special collaborations just announced. In September, Bali's Gamelan Çudamani will make their Chicago debut, co-presented by the Harris Theater and the DCASE World Music Festival, and December will bring a world premiere performance from Robyn Mineko Williams.
