SCHEDULE SET FOR FIFTH ANNUAL UMBRELLA MUSIC FESTIVAL, NOVEMBER 3RD-7TH
Event celebrates jazz and improvised music from Chicago and beyond
Umbrella Music is pleased to announce the final schedule for the fifth annual Umbrella Music Festival, November 3rd-7th. The event celebrates jazz and improvised music from Chicago and beyond.
Called by the Chicago Reader "the most impressive and adventurous jazz event of the year," the Umbrella Music Festival features cutting-edge jazz and improvised music from around the world, with a particular focus on artists from the diverse, cooperative, and thriving local scene.
The festival opens Wednesday, November 3rd with a special evening of FREE concerts dubbed "European Jazz Meets Chicago," co-presented by Umbrella Music, the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, and ten different European consulates and cultural organizations. These concerts will feature some of the best improvising musicians on the European scene, some of them with their regular working groups, and some of them in first-time collaborations with their Chicago counterparts. In 2010, this partnership has expanded to include a second night of FREE concerts on Thursday, November 4th.
The festival continues over the weekend at the regular Umbrella Music venues, and features an incredible lineup of world-renowned artists including David S. Ware, Ellery Eskelin, Mark Helias, Oliver Lake, Reggie Workman, Andrew Cyrille, Wadada Leo Smith, Gunter "Baby" Sommer, and many more!
UMBRELLA MUSIC is a group of Chicago musicians and presenters working to provide performance opportunities for creative and improvising musicians. Umbrella members produce weekly concert series on Wednesdays at The Hideout, Thursdays at Elastic, and Sundays at The Hungry Brain. More information on the group and on the events they coordinate is available at www.umbrellamusic.org.
