About: 

Raíces pays homage to Cal Tjader, Mongo Santamaria and other originators of Latin Jazz and also performs original music performed in the same genre. The quintet was modeled after the famous Cal Tjader Quintet of the 1950’s & 60’s by Chicago percussionist Rubén Alvarez and is currently led by vibraphonist Joe Sonnefeldt. Raíces is celebrating the recent release of their self-titled debut CD of original compositions. Since their post-pandemic return, they’ve played to packed houses at Fitzgerald’s Nightclub and enthusiastic audiences at several area music festivals. In addition to Sonnefeldt on vibes, the band consists of Stuart Seale on piano, Cuban-born bassist Eric Ferrer, Chicago stalwart Bobby Delgado on timbales, and Jorge Leal on congas.

Raíces’ sets are always exciting as they put their modern, Chicago-influenced stamp on the Latin Jazz classics of artists such as Tjader, Santamaria, Tito Puente, Paquito D’Rivera and others. And the original compositions written by Ruben Alvarez and other members of the group blend seamlessly with the standards they perform.

Vibraphonist Joe Sonnefeldt has played for decades around Chicago with leaders including Joe Rendon, Jose Valdez and Marshall Vente, and performed or recorded with numerous local bands including Poi Dog Pondering and Ten City. Pianist Stuart Seale has been based in Chicago since 2008 and met percussionist Ruben Alvarez, while performing with his own group, “Charangueo” which Stuart started in 2013 with bassist Rene Avila. Stuart joined Raíces in 2018. Bobby Delgado (timbales) is a self-taught hand percussionist of Puerto Rican descent. He’s influenced by Afro-Cuban and Caribbean styles and the music Puerto Rico. Ruben asked Bobby to join Raíces as timbalero in 2019 and since Ruben’s retirement, Bobby has become the driving force of the percussion section and a featured soloist. Eric Wilman Ferrer Yard (bass) was born in Cuba and plays both the bass guitar and guitar. After studying music in Cuba, he began his musical career with multiple bands and orchestras. In 2019 Ruben invited Eric to sit in with Raíces at one of their monthly Paladar gigs. Soon after that first meeting, Ruben asked Eric to join Raíces as the group’s bassist, adding his unique Cuban style and passion to their sound. Conguero Jorge Leal was born in Mexico City and raised on the south side of Chicago. He attended Columbia College in Chicago where he met and studied with Ruben Alvarez. In 2017 Ruben invited Jorge to join Raíces as timbalero. Upon Ruben’s retirement, Jorge has taken over as conguero and hopes to honor Ruben’s legacy in that chair. He currently plays congas with Joaquin Garcia's “Tematica” and a number of other Afro-Latin ensembles around Chicago.

About: 

Since meeting at Eighth Blackbird’s inaugural Blackbird Creative Lab in 2017, Jocelyn Zelasko (voice) and Phoebe Wu (piano) have performed many engaging and thought-provoking concerts together, with a recent focus on the music of George Crumb. The duo will present two works by George Crumb: the song cycle Apparition with text from Walt Whitman's 'When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd'; and A Little Suite for Christmas, A.D. 1979 for solo piano, inspired by the Nativity frescoes in the Arena Chapel in Padua, Italy.

About: 

Constellation Men’s Ensemble (CME) is a Chicago-based vocal group dedicated to creating distinct performances in unique spaces, empowering the next generation of singers through educational engagement, and expanding the repertoire for men’s vocal music by commissioning new works from both emerging and established composers. 

In 2016, CME founded their new music series NOVA, “new, original, vocal, art.”  NOVA seeks to capitalize on their mission of commissioning new works. Last year, the fifth annual NOVA concerts were centered around the theme of “humanhood,” and featured the largest commissioned work to date by New Jersey-based composer Robert Maggio entitled Man Up/Man Down. That work will be featured on Constellation’s first album being released in early 2023 with Sono Luminus Records. 

Constellation has had the opportunity to partner with Music of the Baroque to bring their music and passion to students within Chicago Public Schools. Workshop performances focused on careers in music, the joy of community through singing, and the multitude of ways that music can remain a part of your life post high school. Pre-COVID, they toured to New England and Maine, working with over 2,000 middle and high school students through their passion of connecting with the next generation of singers.

CME is the 2019 winner of the American Prize in Choral Performance, professional division. www.constellationensemble.org

About: 

Hailed by the Chicago Tribune for its " stirring contributions to the art song genre", LYNX, also known as LYNX Project, is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization that amplifies diverse voices through new song commissions, inclusive concerts, and educational programming. Founded in 2015, LYNX was formed to revitalize the genre of art song and share it with new audiences.  

LYNX is passionate about bringing modern voices and new perspectives into the art song canon. LYNX's Amplify Series (formerly Autism Advocacy Series) sets the poetry of primarily nonspeaking autistic individuals in new song commissions and directly connects neurodiverse communities to professional artistic experiences. To further serve the autistic and nonspeaking communities, LYNX has augmented the educational opportunities within this series to feature inclusive poetry-writing courses. 

LYNX was the subject of a 2017 documentary by Purdy Productions for the Amplify Series. In the 2021-22 season, LYNX published an anthology of sheet music from this series with NewMusicShelf, and released their debut album beautiful small things on the ArtistShare label to critical acclaim. 

In addition to performance initiatives, which include the Amplify Series and Snapshots of Every Voice, LYNX is passionate about music education opportunities for youth. In Composition of a City, classical and hip hop artists co-teach songwriting classes for teens. With the support of an Alumni Enterprise Award from the Music Academy of the West, LYNX developed an online curriculum for Composition of a City that is free to educators for in-person, virtual, and hybrid learning. In the first six months of deployment, this curriculum reached over 400 students, primarily from the South and West Sides of Chicago. Through generous partnership with WFMT Chicago, LYNX has additionally augmented this curriculum to serve students with a variety of learning differences. 

Since its founding, LYNX has commissioned more than 40 poets and composers through its Amplify Series. Championing emerging and established artists, LYNX offers meaningful artistic opportunities and fosters deep connections between artists and communities. LYNX is now led by Executive Director Caitleen Kahn and Artistic Director Florence Mak.
