Join us in a series of musical performances exploring the genre that inspired the genius exhibited in Following Space: Thaddeus Mosley and Alexander Calder. Each week, SAM will have a different jazz ensemble perform in our South Hall on Saturday from noonâ12:45 pm and 1:15â2 pm. Join us as we listen to the experimental and dynamic music, which created a lasting influence on Modern and Contemporary artists.
