Blues Concert

The Triton College Visual, Performing and Communication Arts Department is hosting a Global Music Series on Wednesday, Oct. 30, 7-8 p.m., in the Triton College Performing Arts Center, R Building (Room R-218). Admission is free.

This performance will feature Bear Williams from Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music, who will perform traditional blues music. Williams is a Chicago-based blues and folk artist who records and tours internationally. He is a 2023 Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award winner for his many contributions to music and community.

“We are happy to be able to continue our collaboration with Chicago’s Old Town School of Music,” said Salvatore Siriano, Triton’s lead music instructor. “We are excited to bring their talented artists on campus to perform for our community.”

Siriano hopes that the Global Music Series exposes Triton students to diverse musical sounds to help them discover commonalities across ethnic traditions.
