The scorching hot temperatures could not keep the nearly 400 people away from the free concert performed by VanderCook College of Music’s graduate students on July 17th at the Women’s Park and Gardens behind the Clarke House Museum, 1827 S. Indiana Ave. The concert, sponsored by Lakeside Bank, was done in partnership with the Chicago Park District, the Greater South Loop Association, the Near South Planning Board, the Parkways Foundation, and the Prairie District Neighborhood Alliance.
