Concerts from the Couch Spends Summer at The Gateway
The Mundi Project and Discovery Gateway Children's Museum are teaming up to bring their virtual concert series to the real world starting this month, for a series that will appear monthly through August. While the series started out as indeed "from the couch" of the featured artists, it's now—as are many other pandemic-born traditions—continuing in the outdoors of the post-ish pandemic world. It kicks off On the Plaza at The Gateway on Friday, June 11 with Jazzy Olivo, at 6:30 p.m. Olivo is a well-established jazz and soul queen around town, known for her bilingual singing talents and distinctive flare. She'll be followed by the sounds of Puerto Rican Bomba music by way of local group Momba Marilé on June 31 at 2 p.m., as part of Discovery Health's health fair that day. The summer series rounds out on Aug. 13 with the winds-focused chamber group Aspen Winds at 6:30 p.m. All shows are $5 per person, and $20 per family (up to eight people from the same household.) Visit discoverygateway.org for tickets and more info on all of these events.
