Clark Art Summer Outdoor Concert Series With Chinobay| 08:30AM / Wednesday, July 09, 2025 | |
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. —The Clark Art Institute presents the latest in a series of free outdoor concerts with thematic connections to the Ground/work 2025 exhibition with a performance by Chinobay on Wednesday, July 16 at 6 pm on the Reflecting Pool Lawn.
According to a press release:
Hailing from the rich musical traditions of Uganda, Chinobay is a musician, cultural ambassador, and educator, spreading the vibrant rhythms and melodies of Africa everywhere. As a child, he embraced the folk tunes he gleaned from his elders. As time unfolded, he undertook the task of revitalizing these classic songs, all while mastering an array of traditional instruments. Today, he stands as a seasoned songwriter, a dedicated educator, and a bridge-builder between cultures. Just as Ground/work 2025 artist Aboubakar Fofana’s artistic practice is rooted in the traditions of West African dyeing and weaving, Chinobay’s musical practice connects to the past and to the inherited teachings of his ancestors.
Free. Bring a picnic and your own seating. Inclement weather moves events to the Manton Research Center auditorium. For accessibility questions, call 413 458 0524. For more information, visit clarkart.edu/events.
