Peter and the Wolf, on the Carillon!

After a mostly rainy (and, at one point, aggressively foggy) week, the sun will finally be out on Sunday. What better way to bask in the newfound sunlight than via picnic on Rockefeller Chapel’s lawn, with world carillon master Geert d’Hollander playing his own arrangement of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf?

Sunday, May 15, Rockefeller Chapel, 5 p.m., free.

A Very Good Jazz Concert

With 17 performers plus one band manager, this unnamed conglomerate of musicians is UChicago’s premier big band. Sunday’s concert, as they promise, will be “Very Good”—and is their reaction to MAB’s refusal to have a big band jazz headliner at Summer Breeze.

Sunday, May 15, Logan Performance Penthouse, 7 p.m., free.

University of Chicago Women’s Ensemble Spring Concert

UChicago’s Women’s Ensemble will be having its penultimate show of the quarter this Sunday in Rockefeller Chapel. The set list spans centuries and continents, with songs from the 13th and 20th centuries and pieces from South Africa and Indonesia.
