JULY 29

Nebraska Crossroads Music Festival
ft. Dinuk Wijeratne & Dawn of Midi

Tuesday, July 29th
RSVP Required

We are partnering with the Nebraska Crossroads Music Festival to host two incredible concerts!

Dinuk Wijeratne — 7:00-8:00 pm: Join internationally acclaimed composer Dinuk Wijeratne for a rare behind-the-scenes look into his creative process. Described as “exuberantly creative” (New York Times), Wijeratne shares personal insights, stories, and musical excerpts in this intimate conversation about inspiration, collaboration, and invention. RSVP for Dinuk Wijeratne’s performance

Dawn of Midi — 8:30-9:30pm: After a decade-long hiatus, the genre-defying trio Dawn of Midi reunites to perform their landmark album Dysnomia live in its entirety at Gallery 1516. Known for creating hypnotic, electronic-sounding grooves with purely acoustic instruments, their music has been described as “a jazz album unlike anything you’ve heard before” (Drowned in Sound). RSVP for Dawn of Midi’s performance

You are welcome to attend one or both performances. If you would like to attend both events, please RSVP for each performance separately.

ft. Karin Campbell, Joslyn Curator

Following a two-year closure for construction and renovation, the Joslyn Art Museum reopened to the public in September 2024. Guided by the principle that museum collections are permanent, but not static, Joslyn curators imagined a reinstallation that expands and diversifies the identities and experiences represented in the galleries and reconsiders the approaches to mediating such narratives to visitors. Karin Campbell will illuminate how these principles apply to the Museum's collection of contemporary art, housed in the new Rhonda & Howard Hawks Pavilion.
