Gregory O’Drobinak, Eric Leonardson, and Ed Herrmann
play the Baschet Aluminum Piano

2:00 pm, Friday, September 30

Admission to the museum is $12 or $7 students. Free for SAIC students. There is no extra charge for the performance.

This is another chance to hear a rare musical instrument - the “aluminum piano” designed by Francois and Bernard Baschet, and owned by the Museum of Contemporary Art. The performance will last about 45 minutes and is part of  “Motor Cocktail: Sound and Movement Art of the 1960s,” an exhibition that runs through October.
