Baby You Milwaukee

Baby You, a massive, 112-foot-long hot air balloon in the shape of a sleeping newborn, will be inflated and rise over Milwaukee, accompanied by a new a cappella choral work by composer Michael Schachter, conducted by Lee Stovall. Created by Poland's Przekrój Foundation, Baby You is a symbol for the potential in all of us that’s waiting to be awakened, unlimited, and endless as the sky. It is a reminder of the togetherness of people and the precious nature of life—joyful, full of wonder, and present in the here and now. Baby You aims to impart that each and every one of us is already enough, that we were born this way. Made of tan fabric, the balloon’s colors change with the light, reflecting the many hues of human skin. All are invited to join the choir for Baby You! Come at 6pm for a quick tutorial with the conductor, and then you will be able to join in at different moments of the piece. The full performance will start at 7pm.
