Angel Bat Dawid live in Chicago

Experience Angel Bat Dawid live on September 19th

Angel Bat Dawid will perform a concert on September 19, 2026, at the base of the General Philip Henry Sheridan Monument in Lincoln Park, Chicago. Dawid is a Chicago-based composer, clarinetist, pianist, and spiritual jazz musician. Her work blends improvisation, experimental jazz, and elements of African-American spiritual traditions, often incorporating spoken word and cosmic themes. She is known for her unique “Black Space” performances – immersive musical experiences intended to create healing and collective reflection.

The General Philip Henry Sheridan Monument, erected in 1908 by sculptor John H. Scott, depicts Civil War and post-Civil War General Philip Henry Sheridan on horseback. Commissioned by the Grand Army of the Republic, it commemorates Sheridan’s military service. The monument stands within Lincoln Park near Lake Shore Drive and Belmont Avenue. It has been the subject of recent debate and scrutiny due to Sheridan’s controversial role in the Plains Indian Wars and his documented policies contributing to the displacement and suffering of Native American populations. This context adds a layer of complexity to hosting a performance focused on Black spiritual expression at this specific location. The monument remains a prominent landmark within the park despite ongoing discussions regarding its historical representation.
