Caroline Shaw live in Chicago

Experience Caroline Shaw live on October 23rd

Caroline Shaw will perform at the Logan Center for the Arts in Chicago on October 23, 2026. Shaw is a composer, violinist, and vocalist known for a highly eclectic style that frequently blends contemporary classical music with elements of pop, folk, and electronic music. Her work often features extended vocal techniques and explores the textures and possibilities of the human voice alongside traditional instrumentation. She received the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2013 for *Partita for Eight Voices*, an a cappella piece demonstrating her innovative approach to vocal composition.

The Logan Center for the Arts, opened in 2012, is a multi-disciplinary arts center on the University of Chicago campus. It serves as a hub for artistic expression and engagement, encompassing performance venues, exhibition galleries, rehearsal spaces, and classrooms. Designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, the building itself is notable for its architectural integration of art and functionality; its design incorporates natural light and flexible spaces intended to foster collaboration between artists and audiences. The center hosts performances and exhibitions across diverse disciplines including visual arts, theatre, music, film, and dance – supporting both university-affiliated projects and external artists.
