Live from the Wonderground: Christo’s Novelty Combo
Friday, May 2 @ 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Every month this summer, enjoy free concerts at MCM featuring an eclectic mix of Madison bands. Adults get to dance and chat, kids climb and play, and caregivers enjoy low-stress social time in an outdoor play space like no other!
Tonight we’re welcoming Christo’s Novelty Combo, an ensemble led by award-winning instrumentalist Christo Ruppenthal. Christo’s Novelty Combo melds exciting, steel guitar-centered jazz and Django Reinhardt influences with vintage “Hawaiian Craze”-inspired tunes.
Sign up in-person for art tours highlighting vibrant works throughout the museum by local fiber artist Renee Roeder Earley, 6:15 pm and 7 pm.
Live from the Wonderground admission is free! You may choose to provide a donation at the door, but no entry fee is required. Proceeds benefit the work of Madison Children’s Museum and allow us to bring accessible programming to our community. All tickets are at the door, no advance registration. Please enter at the Wonderground gate on E. Dayton Street, by the Log Cabin.
