Music Series

Taking place weekly at Kemper Museum's Café Sebastienne, stop in for live music curated by the musical talent of Kansas City!

First up, Hermon Mehari maintains a touring schedule around the world but quickly agreed to curate this inaugural session of the Café Sebastienne Music Series, taking the opportunity to feature drummer-led ensembles. Traditionally playing a supporting role, this time the drummer is free to lead a project and explore the music of their choosing.

Join us from 5:00–7:00 p.m. each Thursday night (unless otherwise noted), with limited-seating table service and cash bar offerings in the Atrium of Kemper Museum – and see below for this week's Happy Hour Menu.
