2016 Summer Sounds on the Plaza: Wayanay Inka

Rothko Chapel again presents its Summer Sounds on the Plaza music series. Spend one Thursday a month at the Chapel, exploring the Americas through music. The indigenous cultures of Mexico, Central America and South America will all be honored and celebrated in performances.

August 11 features Wayanay Inka. Founded in Lima, Peru, the band has established an international reputation as an ambassador for Andean music, which features chants, drums and variations of pan flutes.

Public programs director Michelle Ashton said that sharing these concerts with the community is a highlight for the Chapel.”This will be a great opportunity to enjoy beautiful music outside,” Ashton said. “It’s also a chance to celebrate and learn more about some of the remarkable and diverse indigenous cultures of the Americas.”

Refreshments will be available during the concerts — with SweetCup selling gelato and complimentary beverages provided by Saint Arnold Brewing Company.

Bring your family, friends, a blanket, and enjoy a summer night of music!
