The David Wax Museum performs at Mandel Hall, putting the audience and band on one shared level for a concert unlike anything ever experienced in the 109-year-old auditorium's history. The band's unique fusion of Mexo-American folk music and storytelling, and brand of togetherness, music, and conversation engage everyone in the room.

Conversation with the band is led by Theaster Gates, the University of Chicago's director of arts and public life.

This event is hosted by ArtSpeaks, which is dedicated to engaging internationally renowned artists from varying disciplines in creative conversations with the campus and community.
