Today the city began announcing the lineups for its summer music programming in Millennium Park, releasing information about Loops & Variations, their series of somewhat awkwardly paired double bills of electronic music artists and contemporary classical groups. Lineups for Downtown Sound and Made in Chicago: World Class Jazz are reportedly coming later this week. The series, which runs at Pritzker Pavilion on Thursdays at 6:30 PM between May 29 and July 3, presents some of the city’s finest and most interesting new music ensembles and a motley array of touring acts, some of which sound more like indie-rock bands (Ghost Beach, Yacht) than cutting-edge electronica. In any case, there are some definite highlights.
June 12: Third Coast Percussion, Ghost Beach
