FREE - NO tickets or registration required. Just show up at the ND Snite Museum of Art 

Thursday, June 16, 2022, 5:30PM - 7:30PM

This Concert takes place at the Notre Dame Snite Museum of Art (NOT at Merrimans' Playhouse venue).

Series curated by Stephen and Mary Merriman of Merrimans’ Playhouse.

We are the curators, the Snite is hosting the event.

Spend a summer evening listening to jazz in the Mary Loretto & Terrence J. Dillon Courtyard. Bring your own blanket or lawn chair and settle in for some great music. A cash bar will be available.

Saxophonist Matthew Muñeses presents music from his new project "Noli Me Tángere," named after and inspired by the 1887 novel by Filipino polymath and revolutionary José Rizal. Noli Me Tángere (“Touch me not” in Latin) is also the title of Rizal’s 1887 revolutionary novel detailing political corruption in the Philippines. This music touches on themes from Rizal’s novel–oppression and injustice, hope and faith–and aspects of Filipino culture such as bayanihan, the concept of communal living, and working as a community/country towards betterment and the greater good. Muñeses will be joined by Zubin Edalji (trumpet), Stu Mindeman (piano), Clark Sommers (bass), and Dana Hall (drums).

Museum galleries will also be open. 

Convenient, free parking is available in the lots south of the Notre Dame Stadium. A map and walking route can be found  at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ckTKNwjhGceFKZG9BpWdXXzag52oYI_x/view.
