Kemper Unplugged: Kimberly Jeong, cello

In conjunction with the exhibition Looking Back Toward the Future: Contemporary Photography from China, this program presents a dialogue between a solo suite by J.S. Bach and a set of Chinese folk songs arranged by Zhou Long, telling stories separated by time and geography through the voice of the solo cello. Learn more about the performer here.

Arrive early or stay after to grab lunch at the Museum’s Coffee Bar. Enjoy ice cream sandwiches from Sugarwitch, savory deli sandwiches from Parker’s Table, and pastries from Colleen’s.
