Join us for live classical music by Malik Johnson, presented by WPR! Enjoy an evening of timeless classics, reimagined pop favorites, and great company amidst the Museum\u2019s iconic architecture, with a pop-up bar open before and during the performance. This unique celebration of art and music is brought to the community by WPR and the Museum as part of Thursday Nights at MAM, the Museum\u2019s weekly evening of art, music, and pay-what-you-wish admission. Bring a friend or the whole family and celebrate local music while supporting two of Wisconsin\u2019s cultural institutions.<\/p>\n
