About:
Presented by Nissa Rhee, journalist and cofounder of Borderless Magazine, and followed by a post-screening conversation with director Silvia Malagrino.Born in Buenos Aires, Silvia Malagrino left Argentina in 1978 when her life as a young university student became dangerously entangled with politics surrounding the “Dirty War” and the resistance movement which materialized under one of Argentina’s most brutal military dictatorships. In the midst of the disappearance of so many young protestors and their friends, Malagrino left her country of birth and settled in Chicago. While earning her Ph.D. at the University of Illinois-Chicago, she built a career as an educator, multimedia artist, photographer, and filmmaker. In the mid-1990s she returned to Argentina to film and record the voices of mothers and grandmothers whose children had been “disappeared” in the resistance. As Robert J. Fox, chief editor of the Buenos Aires Herald, famously said of those times, “All of the institutions in Argentina failed. The only institution that didn’t fail was motherhood.” In her film, Malagrino includes her own voice among the others as she synthesizes her memories and experiences of those dangerous years. Burnt Oranges, is a very personal and poetic memoir of this war and its continuing aftermath.
ABOUT THE INSIDE/OUT SERIES
Displacement implies a concept of home. At its best, home is a place where love, belonging and safety comfortably reside.Chicago Film Archives presents Inside/Out: Stories of Origin and Dis/Placement, a series of four extraordinary films made by four Chicago-based women who by nature are adventurous, deeply curious, and brave. They are also mostly unheard of until now. The concept of “displacement” is securely embedded in each of their stories, whether it resides within the communities they film or within their own lived experience. Although each filmmaker offers a narrative distinctly different from the others, individuals’ efforts to survive and adapt to displacement run constant through all of their films.To better understand the effects of displacement, it may be useful to consider the concept of home: What does it mean to “feel at home”? Is “belonging” synonymous with “home”? Is having a sense of “home” essential to the well-being or understanding of self? Does “home” reside in a structure, a person(s), a country or a culture? What might be lost or gained when one is displaced? To explore these concepts and considerations, Alexandra Salomon, Senior Editor with Chicago Public Media, Nissa Rhee, cofounder of Borderless magazine and a seasoned writer, editor and entrepreneur in the field of journalism, and Natalie Moore, a Chicago-based journalist and author of The South Side: A Portrait of Chicago and American Segregation, will facilitate conversations around these four films and how “displacement” and its consequences are woven throughout lives in each story.PROGRAMS IN THIS SERIES

About Her Only Light:
“… a joyous renewal of their commitment to Converse’s legacy. Her songs are wry, weird, evocative, and beautiful, and it’s a delight to hear them done justice in a lovingly staged cabaret-style performance with violin, viola, cello, harp, and clarinets. Somewhere in space and time, Converse is smiling…”
— Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader
“Scintillating....Hospelhorn's pop-adjacent experimental folk features her lovely, elastic vocals, her flute, and her intricately programmed electronics.” — Chicago Reader
“Beguiling” — WNYC
Em Spel's intricate, flute-driven alt-folk sounds like nothing else. The solo project of Chicago-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emma Hospelhorn, Em Spel’s sophomore album, Bird or Snake, was released to widespread praise in 2026. Hospelhorn is a flutist in avant-classical group Ensemble Dal Niente, and her discography includes work on flutes, bass guitar, and keyboards for V.V. Lightbody, Mute Duo, and others working in a diverse array of genres including folk, drone, garage rock, post-punk, and classical. In this solo endeavor, she fuses all of these influences with story-driven lyrics to create invitingly strange folk vignettes. To listen, visit emspel.bandcamp.com.

About:
Ben Dunnill doesn’t just play music; he commands it. Armed with a timeless, gravel-and-silk voice and a staggering mental jukebox of over 5,000 songs memorized entirely by heart, the Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist bridges the gap between eras with effortless, classic soul.
Ben's story began at 13 years old in White Rock, B.C. While most kids his age were navigating middle school, Ben was stepping onto professional stages, cutting his teeth in the unforgiving boot camp of smoky piano bars. Over the span of a decade, he transformed those venues into his personal laboratory, mastering the lost arts of heavy improvisation, razor-sharp showmanship, and the rare ability to capture a room’s collective heartbeat.
That relentless grind eventually met the digital age, sparking a global wildfire. Ben captivated an online audience of over a million followers by turning convention on its head: dismantling hard-hitting rap anthems like 50 Cent’s “Many Men” and Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” and rebuilding them as sweeping, cinematic jazz masterpieces. The internet took notice, generating over 200 million views and drawing ecstatic praise from modern icons like Michael Bublé, Laufey, and Joe Rogan.
But while interpreting the greats and reimagining the unexpected built his foundation, Ben is stepping out from behind the safety of the classic songbook. The sweeping success of his original standouts like the cinematic, storytelling-rich “Till the Credits Roll” and the show-stopping “Encore” has signaled a massive creative evolution. No longer just an elite interpreter of other people's masterpieces, Ben's next definitive chapter shifts the spotlight directly onto his own pen.
A deeply respected collaborator who co-wrote and co-produced the chart-topping jazz record Anything Goes with Mathew V, Ben has already brought his magnetic energy to Canada’s most prestigious stages, including Toronto’s iconic Massey Hall and the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Now, armed with a growing catalog of hits that are uniquely his own, Ben Dunnill is stepping into the spotlight as an authentic powerhouse entertainer who honors the golden age of music while fiercely rewriting its future.

About:
Ellie Rui 瑞 presents: “A Tribute to Jabali (Billy Hart)”. Ellie Rui 瑞 is a Chicago-based Jazz drummer from Columbus, Ohio. She moved to Chicago, IL after graduating from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in the Spring of 2024 with a degree in Jazz studies and a minor in African-American Music. Ellie’s most recent project was releasing her debut album: “DayDreams Are Encouraged” this past May (2026). At Oberlin, Ellie studied with NEA Jazz Master, Billy Hart.
Ellie Rui 瑞 and Aidan Marco, Oberlin Jazz pianist ’25 and long time friend of Ellie’s, have been working very hard the past few months to bring “A Tribute to Jabali (Billy Hart)” to life. After a phone call with Billy Hart and Ethan Iverson, Billy’s pianist and memoirist, and reading Billy’s memoire “Oceans of Time”, Ellie and Aidan have compiled a set list of 5 of Billy’s most influential and career changing pieces.
Billy Hart is known for his ground breaking multidirectional drumming style, featured on records such as “The Creator Has a Master Plan” by Pharoah Saunders and for his time playing with Jazz pianist, Herbie Hancock. The show also features composers: Shirley Horn, Zbigniew Seifert, and Buck Hill (all important peers/mentors to Billy). In preparation for this concert the Ellie Rui 瑞 ensemble will be attempting to play these pieces as true to the record as they can. They want to do their best to pay tribute to Billy Hart and his sound. This show is not only a tribute written by Ellie Rui 瑞 to her drum teacher, but also a celebration of the career of a living Jazz legend.

About:
The Chicago Tribune called it “good old lyric-driven rock,” and the lyrics for this show come from Charles Dickens’ 1843 holiday classic A Christmas Carol. The words will stay unchanged but they’ll find new relevance and meaning in songs played through amps turned up to 11.
Marley’s spooky visit. The Cratchits’ joyful dinner. Scrooge’s ultimate redemption. You get the idea.
Mortal Fools has dusted off other classics and rocked them out in front of standing-room only audiences, starting with Paradise Lost Reimagined, then Shakespeare’s Sonnets Reborn, The Odyssey Retold and, most recently, Wonderland Revisited. A sixth show, Frankenstein Reanimated, is in development.
The band is made-up of seasoned Chicagoland musicians who regularly play around town, so you may have seen them in other shows. This project is a labor of love, if not restitution for all the homework they skipped.
They’ll only come together once to play A Christmas Carol Regifted. Come join them this holiday season and party like it’s 1843.

About:
Jackson and Lucy are excited to share the stage for this special evening at Epiphany. It will be the first time that they will be coheadlining a bill and collaborating on a setlist. In 2023, Jackson recorded and released “Swept in Snow” (lead single “Christmas in Chicago”), a straight-ahead jazz album filled with fresh takes on Christmas classics as well as some original holiday tunes from Jackson’s catalog. Lucy's multi-genre holiday album, “Singing Christmas”, ranked No. 1 on the Americana Charts in January of 2023. Howard Reich (Chicago Tribune) wrote “the austere beauty of her version of “Silent Night” …and the imploring quality of her singing in “Rise Up, Shepherd and Follow…(is) a testament to what the holiday signifies." We hope you’ll join us for this performance!

About:
Presented by Nissa Rhee, journalist and cofounder of Borderless Magazine, and followed by a post-screening conversation with director Silvia Malagrino.Born in Buenos Aires, Silvia Malagrino left Argentina in 1978 when her life as a young university student became dangerously entangled with politics surrounding the “Dirty War” and the resistance movement which materialized under one of Argentina’s most brutal military dictatorships. In the midst of the disappearance of so many young protestors and their friends, Malagrino left her country of birth and settled in Chicago. While earning her Ph.D. at the University of Illinois-Chicago, she built a career as an educator, multimedia artist, photographer, and filmmaker. In the mid-1990s she returned to Argentina to film and record the voices of mothers and grandmothers whose children had been “disappeared” in the resistance. As Robert J. Fox, chief editor of the Buenos Aires Herald, famously said of those times, “All of the institutions in Argentina failed. The only institution that didn’t fail was motherhood.” In her film, Malagrino includes her own voice among the others as she synthesizes her memories and experiences of those dangerous years. Burnt Oranges, is a very personal and poetic memoir of this war and its continuing aftermath.
ABOUT THE INSIDE/OUT SERIES
Displacement implies a concept of home. At its best, home is a place where love, belonging and safety comfortably reside.Chicago Film Archives presents Inside/Out: Stories of Origin and Dis/Placement, a series of four extraordinary films made by four Chicago-based women who by nature are adventurous, deeply curious, and brave. They are also mostly unheard of until now. The concept of “displacement” is securely embedded in each of their stories, whether it resides within the communities they film or within their own lived experience. Although each filmmaker offers a narrative distinctly different from the others, individuals’ efforts to survive and adapt to displacement run constant through all of their films.To better understand the effects of displacement, it may be useful to consider the concept of home: What does it mean to “feel at home”? Is “belonging” synonymous with “home”? Is having a sense of “home” essential to the well-being or understanding of self? Does “home” reside in a structure, a person(s), a country or a culture? What might be lost or gained when one is displaced? To explore these concepts and considerations, Alexandra Salomon, Senior Editor with Chicago Public Media, Nissa Rhee, cofounder of Borderless magazine and a seasoned writer, editor and entrepreneur in the field of journalism, and Natalie Moore, a Chicago-based journalist and author of The South Side: A Portrait of Chicago and American Segregation, will facilitate conversations around these four films and how “displacement” and its consequences are woven throughout lives in each story.PROGRAMS IN THIS SERIES

About:
Sinatra ’56 — Songs for Swingin’ Lovers is the third chapter in Gary Thomas’s trilogy of cabaret concerts celebrating Frank Sinatra’s remarkable Capitol-era comeback—and the moment he hit his full, swaggering stride. Performed by Gary Thomas and The Mid-Century Modern Ensemble, the show is built around Sinatra’s landmark 1956 album Songs for Swingin’ Lovers and features its sparkling essentials alongside a handpicked set of Sinatra favorites—romantic, witty, and irresistibly swinging. Woven together with smart, engaging storytelling, the evening is stylish, funny, and full of heart. Sinatra ’56 brings mid-century sophistication to life and invites audiences to raise a glass to timeless songs, world-class swing, and the voice that made it all unforgettable.

About Her Only Light:
“… a joyous renewal of their commitment to Converse’s legacy. Her songs are wry, weird, evocative, and beautiful, and it’s a delight to hear them done justice in a lovingly staged cabaret-style performance with violin, viola, cello, harp, and clarinets. Somewhere in space and time, Converse is smiling…”
— Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader
“Scintillating....Hospelhorn's pop-adjacent experimental folk features her lovely, elastic vocals, her flute, and her intricately programmed electronics.” — Chicago Reader
“Beguiling” — WNYC
Em Spel's intricate, flute-driven alt-folk sounds like nothing else. The solo project of Chicago-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emma Hospelhorn, Em Spel’s sophomore album, Bird or Snake, was released to widespread praise in 2026. Hospelhorn is a flutist in avant-classical group Ensemble Dal Niente, and her discography includes work on flutes, bass guitar, and keyboards for V.V. Lightbody, Mute Duo, and others working in a diverse array of genres including folk, drone, garage rock, post-punk, and classical. In this solo endeavor, she fuses all of these influences with story-driven lyrics to create invitingly strange folk vignettes. To listen, visit emspel.bandcamp.com.

About:
Ben Dunnill doesn’t just play music; he commands it. Armed with a timeless, gravel-and-silk voice and a staggering mental jukebox of over 5,000 songs memorized entirely by heart, the Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist bridges the gap between eras with effortless, classic soul.
Ben's story began at 13 years old in White Rock, B.C. While most kids his age were navigating middle school, Ben was stepping onto professional stages, cutting his teeth in the unforgiving boot camp of smoky piano bars. Over the span of a decade, he transformed those venues into his personal laboratory, mastering the lost arts of heavy improvisation, razor-sharp showmanship, and the rare ability to capture a room’s collective heartbeat.
That relentless grind eventually met the digital age, sparking a global wildfire. Ben captivated an online audience of over a million followers by turning convention on its head: dismantling hard-hitting rap anthems like 50 Cent’s “Many Men” and Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” and rebuilding them as sweeping, cinematic jazz masterpieces. The internet took notice, generating over 200 million views and drawing ecstatic praise from modern icons like Michael Bublé, Laufey, and Joe Rogan.
But while interpreting the greats and reimagining the unexpected built his foundation, Ben is stepping out from behind the safety of the classic songbook. The sweeping success of his original standouts like the cinematic, storytelling-rich “Till the Credits Roll” and the show-stopping “Encore” has signaled a massive creative evolution. No longer just an elite interpreter of other people's masterpieces, Ben's next definitive chapter shifts the spotlight directly onto his own pen.
A deeply respected collaborator who co-wrote and co-produced the chart-topping jazz record Anything Goes with Mathew V, Ben has already brought his magnetic energy to Canada’s most prestigious stages, including Toronto’s iconic Massey Hall and the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Now, armed with a growing catalog of hits that are uniquely his own, Ben Dunnill is stepping into the spotlight as an authentic powerhouse entertainer who honors the golden age of music while fiercely rewriting its future.

About:
Ellie Rui 瑞 presents: “A Tribute to Jabali (Billy Hart)”. Ellie Rui 瑞 is a Chicago-based Jazz drummer from Columbus, Ohio. She moved to Chicago, IL after graduating from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in the Spring of 2024 with a degree in Jazz studies and a minor in African-American Music. Ellie’s most recent project was releasing her debut album: “DayDreams Are Encouraged” this past May (2026). At Oberlin, Ellie studied with NEA Jazz Master, Billy Hart.
Ellie Rui 瑞 and Aidan Marco, Oberlin Jazz pianist ’25 and long time friend of Ellie’s, have been working very hard the past few months to bring “A Tribute to Jabali (Billy Hart)” to life. After a phone call with Billy Hart and Ethan Iverson, Billy’s pianist and memoirist, and reading Billy’s memoire “Oceans of Time”, Ellie and Aidan have compiled a set list of 5 of Billy’s most influential and career changing pieces.
Billy Hart is known for his ground breaking multidirectional drumming style, featured on records such as “The Creator Has a Master Plan” by Pharoah Saunders and for his time playing with Jazz pianist, Herbie Hancock. The show also features composers: Shirley Horn, Zbigniew Seifert, and Buck Hill (all important peers/mentors to Billy). In preparation for this concert the Ellie Rui 瑞 ensemble will be attempting to play these pieces as true to the record as they can. They want to do their best to pay tribute to Billy Hart and his sound. This show is not only a tribute written by Ellie Rui 瑞 to her drum teacher, but also a celebration of the career of a living Jazz legend.

About:
The Chicago Tribune called it “good old lyric-driven rock,” and the lyrics for this show come from Charles Dickens’ 1843 holiday classic A Christmas Carol. The words will stay unchanged but they’ll find new relevance and meaning in songs played through amps turned up to 11.
Marley’s spooky visit. The Cratchits’ joyful dinner. Scrooge’s ultimate redemption. You get the idea.
Mortal Fools has dusted off other classics and rocked them out in front of standing-room only audiences, starting with Paradise Lost Reimagined, then Shakespeare’s Sonnets Reborn, The Odyssey Retold and, most recently, Wonderland Revisited. A sixth show, Frankenstein Reanimated, is in development.
The band is made-up of seasoned Chicagoland musicians who regularly play around town, so you may have seen them in other shows. This project is a labor of love, if not restitution for all the homework they skipped.
They’ll only come together once to play A Christmas Carol Regifted. Come join them this holiday season and party like it’s 1843.

About:
Jackson and Lucy are excited to share the stage for this special evening at Epiphany. It will be the first time that they will be coheadlining a bill and collaborating on a setlist. In 2023, Jackson recorded and released “Swept in Snow” (lead single “Christmas in Chicago”), a straight-ahead jazz album filled with fresh takes on Christmas classics as well as some original holiday tunes from Jackson’s catalog. Lucy's multi-genre holiday album, “Singing Christmas”, ranked No. 1 on the Americana Charts in January of 2023. Howard Reich (Chicago Tribune) wrote “the austere beauty of her version of “Silent Night” …and the imploring quality of her singing in “Rise Up, Shepherd and Follow…(is) a testament to what the holiday signifies." We hope you’ll join us for this performance!

Lucy works collaboratively with Chicago media personality, Cheryl Corley, on “edutainment” projects that combine music, history and spoken word. They include: America: Songs and Stories of Protest and Freedom; Chicago Bound: The Great Migration of the Blues; Chicago’s Soul: The Words and Music of Gwendolyn Brooks and Curtis Mayfield; and Shout OUT: A Tribute to Gays in Gospel Music. Lucy worked for eight years as the music director for the “Jazz at Four” service at Chicago's Fourth Presbyterian, where she created a new jazz-infused paradigm for worship. In 2025, Lucy received the Black Excellence Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music from the Black Arts and Culture Alliance of Chicago. https://lucysmithjazz.com/ @lucysmithjazz
