About:

Beyond Borders: A Concert of Musical Unity is a powerful live experience led by Chicago-based vocalist Luis Alfredo, bringing together cultures, languages, and musical traditions in one unforgettable night at Epiphany Hall.

Rooted in Luis Alfredo’s journey as a Mexican immigrant, educator, and artist, this concert is more than a performance; it is a celebration of identity, resilience, and belonging. Through a genre-crossing repertoire that spans Latin pop, mariachi, soul, gospel, jazz, blues, and funk, the show reflects the many sounds that shape Chicago and its communities. Each song becomes a chapter in a shared story of migration, memory, love, loss, and renewal.

Backed by a dynamic, multicultural band directed by acclaimed musical director Daniel Chávez, Luis Alfredo delivers an emotionally rich and high-energy performance that moves seamlessly from intimate acoustic moments to full-band celebrations. The concert honors cultural roots while embracing evolution; where traditions meet new rhythms, and personal stories become collective experiences.

Beyond Borders invites audiences to sing, dance, reflect, and celebrate together; reminding us that music has the power to unite us beyond language, borders, and backgrounds. This is a night of storytelling, joy, and connection, created for the city and community that continues to inspire it.

About Susie McCollum:

With old soul vulnerability and a rich vocal palette, indie artist Susie McCollum lives at the intersection of raw emotion and refined craft. Originally from New York City and now based in Chicago, McCollum blends timeless songwriting with a contemporary edge - drawing inspiration from artists like Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, and Amy Winehouse.

A lifelong student of music, McCollum’s journey spans opera, theater, jazz, R&B, & folk -  providing an eclectic background that informs her textured, authentic sound. Her mesmerizing and poetic lyricism is fueled by compassion, wit, and an insatiable curiosity about the human experience. Susie is also a self-taught guitarist - a pandemic hobby turned renewed sense of artistic purpose.

Susie arrived on the scene with the celebrated single  “New Year’s Eve” in 2022, praised by A&R Factory as a “part-love song, part-indie-soulful ode to bittersweet tradition.” Her 2024 debut EP Tempt My Fate captivated audiences as "stirring and uniquely powerful” (CLOUT Magazine) for its soulful vocal and poignant songwriting. She has worked alongside artists like Christopher, Nep, and Marielle Kraft, while most recently co-writing “I Should Lose You” with indie-pop artist Jenny Kern. In addition to singing, writing, and producing, Susie has also honed her skills as a recording engineer - enabling her to truly inhabit every layer of the creative process.

Susie released her highly anticipated single “Abigail” on October 24th, whose "dreamy hush works medicinally; it doesn’t push catharsis, it coaxes it" (Uranium Waves). The work is fueled by finding a home within oneself and asking: what does it mean to truly grow up… and do we ever? 

Through heartfelt melodies and soul-stirring lyrics, Susie invites listeners into a shared space of introspection and re-invention - marking her a singular and invaluable talent in today’s music scene.

About:

Step into one of Chicago’s most beautiful hidden gems for an intimate evening of piano music that goes far beyond the expected.

Pianist Olga Ridgway invites you on a journey through passion, imagination, and storytelling at the stunning Epiphany Center for the Arts. Whether you’re a lifelong lover of classical music or simply curious for a unique night out, this concert is designed to draw you in, surprise you, and leave you inspired.

The program pairs two extraordinary works:

Johann Sebastian Bach — Partita No. 6 in E minor
A powerful and deeply expressive masterpiece — intricate, emotional, and quietly mesmerizing.

Robert Schumann — Carnaval, Op. 9
A vivid musical story filled with playful characters, romance, humor, and drama — almost like a theatrical performance told entirely through music.

An internationally acclaimed pianist, Olga has performed across Europe and the United States, with appearances at venues including the Chicago Cultural Center, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Merkin Hall in New York City, and Carnegie Hall. Known for her expressive depth and captivating stage presence, she brings warmth and humanity to every performance.

Originally from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Olga’s musical journey has taken her from Europe to Chicago, where she now serves on the piano faculty at the Music Institute of Chicago.

But this evening is not about credentials — it’s about connection.

Set inside the breathtaking, candlelit atmosphere of Epiphany Center, this is a rare chance to experience world-class piano up close — where every note, every nuance, and every emotion is felt just a little more deeply.

Come for the music. Stay for the experience.
