Little Miss Ann & Marko Polo Summer Concert

Celebrate the Summer with music your whole family can sing, dance, and jump around to!

Little Miss Ann & Marko Polo will be bringing a fun, interactive, and energetic concert to the Nature Museum.

Little Miss Ann is a Fillipina-American, nationally touring kids musician who has made 8 award-winning Family Music albums. She is also a former Chicago Public School teacher, an instructor at Chicago's iconic Old Town School of Folk Music, a social justice activist, and a Governor for the Chicago Recording Academy.

Whether Ann is singing about Ube (a Fillipino purple yam), or the 606 (a landmark trail in Chicago), her musical themes will inspire kids to let their own light shine in their own families as well as in their communities!

Mark Pagano, AKA Marko Polo is a singer/songwriter, educator, and recording artist based in St. Louis, MO.

Marko blends groovy rock and roll guitar with catchy hooks and memorable topics that connect with listeners of all stripes. He performs regularly at festivals, museums, schools, and libraries around the US. His recent nature-themed albums, “Mammal Music” (2022), “Aqua Phonic” (2023), and “Tree Sounds”(2025) have been celebrated by kids, parents, librarians, and teachers alike.

Admission to this event is for the concert only. The rest of the museum and its exhibits will close prior to the concert's beginning, and be closed following the concert.
