Chicago Botanic Garden
McGinley Pavilion; 1000 Lake Cook Road, Glencoe, IL

Watch the sunset, and unwind with live music on the Esplanade. You are encouraged to bring your own chairs, as the Garden has a limited supply. Picnicking is welcome during evening concerts, or stop by one of our dining locations to grab a bite and some drinks. Brass From The Past takes the audience on a musical journey from the late 60s into the early 80s, touching on a few 90s and 2000s tunes to end the show. Featuring an unstoppable six-piece horn section, tight four-piece rhythm section, and four powerful singers who command the stage. This is no ordinary band!
Brass from the Past plays the music of Stevie Wonder, Four Tops, Temptations, Michael Jackson, Chicago, Doobie Brothers, Prince, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Blood Sweat & Tears, Patti LaBelle, Bruno Mars, Chaka Kahn, O’Jays, Tower of Power, and more.
