Kacie Brown (b.2001) is a singer-songwriter based in Chicago, who is heavily influenced by Neo-Soul, Pop, and R&B music.
In 2019 she made a bold move that was scary, by moving to Chicago, Illinois. This move to the big city was to expand her knowledge as a musician and attain a degree in Vocal Performance.
Kacie graduated from Columbia College Chicago in May of 2023 with a Bachelors of Music in Contemporary, Urban and Popular Music with a focus in vocal performance and songwriting.
As a lead vocalist in many of Columbia College Chicago’s top showcase ensembles, Kacie shared the stage with Jonathan McReynolds, Morris Hayes, and Woody Goss.

Dawson is a Chicago based singer-songwriter with influences rooted in pop, soul, and dance. Taking inspiration from queer culture and iconography, his work reflects
a love for female artists through the lense of a baritone voice. Dawson recently graduated from Columbia College Chicago’s Contemporary, Urban, and Popular Music program.

About:
Freddie is the embodiment of the Chicago Blues. The 2nd son of the world-famous 7th Son, Willie Dixon, Freddie has been surrounded by the Blues since the day he was born. His father is a blues legend as a song writer, producer, and musician. Willie was at the helm at Chess Records for many of the sides cut in the 1950’s, 1960’s and into the 1970’s.
Freddie began his blues career learning his chops playing with a number of musicians in south side blues clubs. He was soon hired to play in his father’s band, The Chicago Blues All-Stars and traveled around the world spreading the gospel of the blues.
The torch was handed to Freddie in the early 1990’s when his father passed away. Since then, Freddie has continued as a blues ambassador playing to crowds from Europe to Australia as well as locally in Chicago. In 2020 Freddie, along with Chicago Blues legends John Watkins and Maurice John Vaughan produced a 2 disc CD called “3x3,” which is available at most on line retail outlets.

About Umraan Syed:
Umraan Syed is a visionary artist from Chicago, revolutionizing the music scene with his experimental and progressive hip-hop. His music, rich in metaphoric and lyrical depth, draws from personal experiences and a keen observation of the world around him. Umraan's debut album, "Bismillah," showcased his innovative sound, blending genres and setting the stage for his critically acclaimed follow-up, "House in the Vines."
As he gears up for the release of his highly anticipated album, "Z E N I T H," fans can expect an even more adventurous sonic journey. Known for his dynamic live performances, Umraan brings a powerful band to the stage, seamlessly fusing elements of jazz, rock, R&B, and hip-hop to create an unforgettable live show experience. Don't miss the chance to witness this groundbreaking artist in action – Umraan Syed is truly a force to be reckoned with.
About C3zr:
"Chicago pianist, songwriter, and producer Cesar Pino writes music with a location in mind, be it a beach, a rooftop while looking up at the sky at night, or even somewhere in the mainframe of Tron, thanks to a consistent use of electronic drums and synth bass. Donning the moniker C3zr, Pino’s project combines his
background as a classically trained and jazz pianist with the electronic funk or soul of his favorite artists like Kaytranada, Daft Punk, Robert or Glasper.
Anyone could find themselves in the world Pino creates in his electronically produced but soulful debut album, Round Voyage(600 Block Records). But the songwriting and setting is still distinctly inspired by Chicago, set along the city’s lakefront by day and the city’s river at night."

Doors: 2PM
Showtime: 3PM
Tickets: Pay What You Can (Options: $10-$50)
About:
CHAI Collaborative Ensemble (CCE) concludes their 2023-24 Season with works that offer brief windows into diverse musical perspectives of four distinctive composers of classical music from the 20th and 21st centuries. Jenni Brandon's Sea Quartet is a colorful tribute to the beauty of the ocean and all the creatures and ecosystems that dwell within it. It was commissioned by the L.A. Musical Salon as part of my composer residency with the Vientos Trio from 2008-2009, and was inspired by her living near the Pacific Ocean. Heitor Villa-Lobos' Trio for Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon offers a fusion between various forms of traditional Brazilian rhythms and music and the classical wind trio. Villa-Lobos gravitated towards the raw sounds of wind instruments, and indulged in a variety harmonic clashes, rhythmic dexterity, and dynamic extremes in this work. Gernot Wolfgang's Windows is a pensive yet flowing piece for clarinet, bassoon and piano. In the composer's words, "the main theme of this 12 minute composition in one movement is presented in a variety of musical environments throughout the piece. In an allegorical sense, it is as if the listener was walking down a hallway lined with windows, periodically catching a view of the exterior. The outside world always stays the same, but the perspective of the viewer/listener changes from window to window... a chain of parallax views." Valerie Coleman's Trio Toccata was written in the summer of 2014, and equally showcases the virtuosity of the oboe, bassoon, and piano. In Coleman's words, it is "a lyrical, high paced romp that is heavily jazz influenced."
Featuring:
Andrew Marlin, bassoon
Marianne Parker, piano
Laura Perkett, oboe
Daniel Williams, clarinet
Tickets are Pay-What-You-Can, and are $10-50.
CCE's 2023-24 Season is sponsored in part by the Illinois Arts Council Agency, the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and the Illinois Creative Recovery Grant Program (B2B Arts). The ensemble also gratefully acknowledges the support from their wonderful community of generous individual donors over the years.

About Cult like:
Cult like is brand new to the music scene, however, each of the band members is not. Each playing in different projects over the years, the guys eventually came together just before the release of the EP, “Pretty Shore”. The band blends together poppy and alternative elements, but also makes whatever they feel like given everyone in the band has a different musical background. The band consists of Brice Lanham (Drums), Mission Marcis (Bass), and Victor Roa (Guitar/Vocals).
About Daniel Gayden:
Daniel Gayden, a Chicago-based singer-songwriter and drummer, emerges as a dynamic force from the vibrant cultural scene of the city’s South Side. With influences shaping his unique voice, Gayden’s rhythmic prowess extends beyond conventional boundaries, blending beats and the soulful resonance of love songs. As a seasoned drummer, he captures the diverse essence of Chicago’s music scene, commanding stages with a magnetic presence as a freelance performer.

About:
Converging innovative musical writing with a passion for improvisation, Retrospect is a new emerging band on the Chicago jazz scene. Rooted in the voice of American music, the band's journey began as a senior recital band at Columbia College Chicago. This group boasts five instrumentalists, with composer and saxophonist Ben Jossi, Jackson Arbogast on guitar, Miles Pretel on keys and piano, Ethan Davila on bass, and Hugh Maxey on drums, the lineup was set.
Their music is a captivating blend of past and present, where jazz's improvisational spirit dances with Latin rhythms, hip hop beats, soulful blues, and a sprinkle of American roots. This unique fusion began during Ben's senior recital aptly titled "Retrospect." Soon, they headlined at Manifest, Columbia's spring arts festival, under the name "Ben Jossi's Retro Collective."
But it was their recording at Sessions@33, a Columbia production akin to a tiny desk concert, that solidified their identity as Retrospect. With some new members that brought a powerful sound, the name stuck. For Retrospect, their music identifies with jazz's limitless possibilities and adds to the allure of genre-blending. It goes beyond music; it's storytelling through the musical language this group performs with.

About:
My Fair Audrey Hepburn
When you think of Audrey Hepburn, you think of timeless beauty. But Audrey was so much more than a pretty face and a killer clavicle. From WWII refugee to Academy Award winner, from UNICEF beneficiary to UNICEF ambassador, Audrey led a remarkable and exemplary life. Actress, fashion icon, wife, mother, and tireless humanitarian, Audrey is as much beloved today as she was half a century ago. Celebrate Audrey’s 95th birthday in style! Join acclaimed Chicago cabaret artist, Hilary Ann Feldman (“… a tour de force of cabaret, opera, and jazz.” ~Chicago Tribune), along with pianist Beckie Menzie, for her touching, funny, and enlightening tribute to this extraordinary woman.
Hilary Ann Feldman
Called a "tour de force of cabaret, opera, and jazz" by the Chicago Tribune, Hilary Ann Feldman has appeared across the country and in London, England, celebrating music of the Great American Songbook past and present, while paying tribute to some of entertainment's most beloved icons.
Hilary has a reputation for clever storytelling through song, unique subject matter, and an exquisite, versatile singing voice. She is known not only for her unique take on traditional cabaret fare, but also for pushing the boundaries of what that fare can be.
The remarkable success of her tribute to the beloved Audrey Hepburn proved that music could be used to pay tribute to a non-musical icon.
"... a classy musical tribute to Audrey Hepburn. While offering a cabaret show based on a performer known more as an actress than singer might be tricky, Feldman makes it all fly... a lovely vocalist... the right balance of musicality, story, and heart."
~ Cabaret Scenes Magazine
Hilary followed up that triumph with her a tribute to funny woman Carol Burnett, which has been playing to sold out houses since it opened in May 2015 and prompted a couple of phone calls from Carol Burnett herself!
"I absolutely loved the show! I've told a few people this in my life, and now I'm telling you: You are the whole package!"
~ Carol Burnett, TV Legend & Broadway Star
Expertly weaving together her wealth of knowledge on her chosen subject with just the right music to tell the story, Hilary creates clever and compelling performances that surprise and delight audiences.
Hilary’s debut CD, Taking Flight, was named "Cabaret/Folk CD of the Year" by NY Cabaret Hotline. She is also a well-respected vocal and performance coach and the founder of Acts Of Kindness Cabaret, an organization that has raised nearly half a million dollars for local charities through cabaret performance. www.HilaryAnnFeldman.com www.AOKCabaret.org

About:
A night of transportive neoclassical soundscapes by two visionary composers.
Gregory Allison creates with a single violin a sound that travels across great landscapes. He has toured the world with violin in hand and is endlessly inspired by the instrument’s journey around the globe, especially it’s use in South Indian Classical music. His live performance blends the Indian Classical melodic improvisation with his classical sensibility as a film composer, offering the listener a sonic journey through time and space.
He will be performing his 2021 debut album Portal in its entirety, along with new compositions for amplified violin and string quartet.
Gregory recently moved back to Portland after 5 years living in LA, where he started the record label and recording studio Holy Volcano. He has released four albums on the label: one solo, two with collaborator Tristan de Liege, and as producer for the debut album from songwriter Ella Luna. He is currently collaborating with electronic composers to create ReWorked versions of the music from his debut solo record Portal.
Slow Meadow is Houston multi-instrumentalist Matt Kidd. Kidd's releases as Slow Meadow have been celebrated by the New York Observer, NPR's Stephen Thompson, Echoes' John Diliberto, and who sampled Lachrymosia for the platinum-selling song on his debut album, FREE 6LACK. In 2022, Kidd provided the original soundtrack to the film, "My Mind & Me".
Two years following 2017’s Costero, Slow Meadow returned with its third full-length album Happy Occident, a collection of textured ambient melodies. Fueled by the anxiety derivative of modern life and the frenetic and often uncertain state of these ever-changing times, Happy Occident provides music for reflection. A soundtrack to life’s contemplative moments, and an experience akin to mindfulness meditation.
In 2021, Slow Meadow is back with Upstream Dream, its first wholly new music since 2020’s By the Ash Tree, which bookends a period of creative output that introduced Kidd’s vision of calming and meditative ambient music.
With a foundation of piano, string orchestration, and an ever-evolving electronic palette, Slow Meadow has traversed the borders of neoclassical and minimalist electronics with Upstream Dream, delivering a deeply personal and transportive experience that speaks directly to the ebbs and flows and mundanity and marvels of life. With sublime patience, understated
elegance, and surreal atmosphere, Slow Meadow savors the present, remembers the past, and imagines what could be.

About:
Cassiopeia is a classical and alternative band that formed in the fall of the past year. The Chicago-based group is comprised of 3 classically trained musicians who use their time together to reminisce and explore through their music.
The group features pianist and producer June Thomas, vocalist Kensey Kendall, guitar player Alice Avery, and violinist Trinity Clay. The group met through college and their mutual love for the arts. Cassiopeia’s songs form spontaneously and intuitively. The members each bring a different element of beauty to every composition; June’s piano provides an elegant structure, Trinity’s instrumentation adds a layer of melody and harmony, and Kensey’s lyrics charge every song with emotion and memory. Together, They create music made of sorrow and cautious hope.

Earnest lyrics and profound concepts define his music, woven together through lush chords and the allure of pop melodies.

About Yna:
Yna is a 23-year-old ambient indie producer and songwriter currently based in Chicago, Illinois. Drawing from their personal experiences and her drive to experiment with layers of synths, guitars, and bells, Yna’s lyricism and ethereal soundscapes are integral parts of her signature, cinematic sound. Media outlets describe Yna’s songs as “emotionally evocative music that makes you feel like the main character in an Oscar-winning tearjerker.” Driven by capturing their struggles with anxiety, relationships, and identity, Yna shows herself to the world through the words they sing. Yna wants listeners to live her own experiences through her music, also hoping that her songs can bring others comfort from the struggles they may be dealing with.
Raised in Southern California, Yna started singing at the age of four and taught herself how to play the guitar and piano at the age of nine. After releasing a number of singles, such as “unaligned” and “south loop,” Yna moved to Chicago in 2021 to pursue a career in music. Since moving to Chicago, Yna has made a name for herself in both Illinois and California. In 2023, Yna formed their band, Yna and the Seasons, which played 15 shows throughout the year. Yna and the Seasons have performed at prominent venues in Chicago such as Schubas Tavern, Beat Kitchen and Sleeping Village as well as Chapman University in Orange, California.
Currently, Yna is working on their debut studio album, set for release in the summer of 2024.

About:
Jace McCloy is a professional Baritone singer-songwriter from Lansing, Michigan. He is a 2015 alumni of Lansing Catholic High School, and he graduated in 2020 from Central Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in Music (Primary Instrument: Voice).
His time at CMU was nothing short of impressive. He participated in Chamber Singers, was an invited soloist at university-sponsored events, and even starred in university operas and musicals! His most notable roles consist of The Mikado in The Mikado (2018), Bishop/Ensemble in Shrek: The Musical (2018), Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd (2019), Henry Ford in Ragtime (2019), and Don Pedro in Beatrice & Benedict (2020). During the summer of 2019, Jace was also cast in the summer stock season for Dunes Summer Theatre in Michigan City, Indiana. Here, he had the pleasure of playing Luther Billis in South Pacific and Lester/Billy Bob Blood in Hansel and Gretel Meet the Swamp Witch.
After graduating, Jace moved to Chicago for three years, where he got his start with Opera Inter Alia and Chicago Cabaret Professionals. He has worked with the likes of Susan Arjmand, Stewart Thompson, Frieda Lee, Anne & Mark Burnell, Carla Gordon, Hilary Feldman, and many others. Everyone mentioned played a part in his successful performances, including his CCP debut in Passing the Torch in April, 2022! Jace also had the pleasure of working with the incredible Woodstock Playhouse Cast of 2022 in Woodstock, New York! During this summer stock season, he played Reverend Shaw in Footloose, Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast, Selsdon in Noises Off, Herr Schultz in Cabaret, and George Wilson in Gatsby: An American Musical. Upon returning to Chicago, Jace was cast as Steve/Peter Understudy in Beverly Arts Center’s production of The Christmas Schooner (2022), which was an incredible experience.
While he has had an amazing run thus far, 2023 was the year that pushed Jace’s career even further. He had successful performances in Red Hour Cabaret in February and 100 Years of Disney in July, on top of releasing his highly anticipated album, Development in March, which shows his abilities as a songwriter. In August, he debuted a new song, “New Life”, from his upcoming album, Baptism. It was this song that helped him win the Denise Tomasello Scholarship in the 2023 Emerging Artists Showcase, which he is incredibly thankful for.
In his debut show, Acceptance, Jace paints a unique picture with a mix of Pop/Jazz songs, Musical Theatre pieces, and original works. He will be joined by Jeff English on piano, Kevin Schulz on bass, and Steve Thompson on drums.

Mr. Hauer traveled to Athens in May of 2015 to participate in the 4th Leonidas Kavakos International Masterclass.

About KAIA:
From the tango of the Rio de la Plata to the string quartets of Silvestre Revueltas, the KAIA String Quartet is an ensemble devoted to promoting the rich and colorful music of Latin America. Active performers in both the US and abroad, highlights of the most recent season include a collaboration with Jazz singer Paul Marinaro and performances at Chicago area venues including the Studebaker Theatre, the Epiphany Center for the Arts, the Morton Arboretum, the Mozart Immersive Experience, and the Kenilworth Assembly Hall. The quartet's most recent tour of Uruguay and Argentina included a performance at Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires.
The Quartet plays an active role in Chicago's music scene and has performed at the Chicago Latino Music Festival, the Ear Taxi Festival, and Chamber Music on the Fox. In 2017, KAIA was the first ensemble in residence at Chicago's classical radio station, WFMT. During this residency they explored the world of Latin classical music with audiences through daily radio segments, performances and broadcasts around the city and the production of KAIA Kids, a series of children's education videos.
Celebrated by Downbeat magazine for its ability to "beautifully blur the lines between jazz, classical, Latin and world music" KAIA’s album collaboration with Fareed Haque was chosen by Chicago Tribune’s Howard Reich as one of the top ten classical recordings of 2018. Their album, Sureño, explores the music and relationship of Argentinian composers Astor Piazzolla and José Bragato. The latest recording project released in 2020 includes a collaboration with jazz pianist Ryan Cohan in his work Originations. KAIA together with Cohan and his chamber ensemble were featured performing this piece at 2019 Chicago's Jazz Fest main stage.
KAIA is deeply devoted to music education. They are teaching artists for Ravinia's Reach*Teach*Play program and for Classical Music Chicago's Young Peoples' Concerts program. KAIA founded DePaul University's Community Music Division chamber program where they inspire the next generation of performers. During the 2023-24 season, the KAIA String Quartet was invited to teach and perform at Michigan State University and Carthage College as artists-in-residence. In the summer of 2023, KAIA was on the New England Music Camp's Chamber Music Intensive faculty as the resident quartet and will be returning in the summer of 2024. Since 2018, KAIA has been the ensemble-in-residence for the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra's Summer Chamber Music Camp. The quartet traveled to Tijuana, Mexico to present and perform in schools through the sponsorship of the Mainly Mozart Festival annually between 2013 and 2017.

About Umraan Syed:
Umraan Syed is a visionary artist from Chicago, revolutionizing the music scene with his experimental and progressive hip-hop. His music, rich in metaphoric and lyrical depth, draws from personal experiences and a keen observation of the world around him. Umraan's debut album, "Bismillah," showcased his innovative sound, blending genres and setting the stage for his critically acclaimed follow-up, "House in the Vines."
As he gears up for the release of his highly anticipated album, "Z E N I T H," fans can expect an even more adventurous sonic journey. Known for his dynamic live performances, Umraan brings a powerful band to the stage, seamlessly fusing elements of jazz, rock, R&B, and hip-hop to create an unforgettable live show experience. Don't miss the chance to witness this groundbreaking artist in action – Umraan Syed is truly a force to be reckoned with.
About C3zr:
"Chicago pianist, songwriter, and producer Cesar Pino writes music with a location in mind, be it a beach, a rooftop while looking up at the sky at night, or even somewhere in the mainframe of Tron, thanks to a consistent use of electronic drums and synth bass. Donning the moniker C3zr, Pino’s project combines his background as a classically trained and jazz pianist with the electronic funk or soul of his favorite artists like Kaytranada, Daft Punk, Robert or Glasper.
Anyone could find themselves in the world Pino creates in his electronically produced but soulful debut album, Round Voyage(600 Block Records). But the songwriting and setting is still distinctly inspired by Chicago, set along the city’s lakefront by day and the city’s river at night."

About:
CHAI Collaborative Ensemble (CCE) concludes their 2023-24 Season with works that offer brief windows into diverse musical perspectives of four distinctive composers of classical music from the 20th and 21st centuries. Jenni Brandon's Sea Quartet is a colorful tribute to the beauty of the ocean and all the creatures and ecosystems that dwell within it. It was commissioned by the L.A. Musical Salon as part of my composer residency with the Vientos Trio from 2008-2009, and was inspired by her living near the Pacific Ocean. Heitor Villa-Lobos' Trio for Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon offers a fusion between various forms of traditional Brazilian rhythms and music and the classical wind trio. Villa-Lobos gravitated towards the raw sounds of wind instruments, and indulged in a variety harmonic clashes, rhythmic dexterity, and dynamic extremes in this work. Gernot Wolfgang's Windows is a pensive yet flowing piece for clarinet, bassoon and piano. In the composer's words, "the main theme of this 12 minute composition in one movement is presented in a variety of musical environments throughout the piece. In an allegorical sense, it is as if the listener was walking down a hallway lined with windows, periodically catching a view of the exterior. The outside world always stays the same, but the perspective of the viewer/listener changes from window to window... a chain of parallax views." Valerie Coleman's Trio Toccata was written in the summer of 2014, and equally showcases the virtuosity of the oboe, bassoon, and piano. In Coleman's words, it is "a lyrical, high paced romp that is heavily jazz influenced."
Featuring:
Andrew Marlin, bassoon
Marianne Parker, piano
Laura Perkett, oboe
Daniel Williams, clarinet
Tickets are Pay-What-You-Can, and are $10-50.
CCE's 2023-24 Season is sponsored in part by the Illinois Arts Council Agency, the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and the Illinois Creative Recovery Grant Program (B2B Arts). The ensemble also gratefully acknowledges the support from their wonderful community of generous individual donors over the years.

About Cult like:
Cult like is brand new to the music scene, however, each of the band members is not. Each playing in different projects over the years, the guys eventually came together just before the release of the EP, “Pretty Shore”. The band blends together poppy and alternative elements, but also makes whatever they feel like given everyone in the band has a different musical background. The band consists of Brice Lanham (Drums), Mission Marcis (Bass), and Victor Roa (Guitar/Vocals).
About Daniel Gayden:
Daniel Gayden, a Chicago-based singer-songwriter and drummer, emerges as a dynamic force from the vibrant cultural scene of the city’s South Side. With influences shaping his unique voice, Gayden’s rhythmic prowess extends beyond conventional boundaries, blending beats and the soulful resonance of love songs. As a seasoned drummer, he captures the diverse essence of Chicago’s music scene, commanding stages with a magnetic presence as a freelance performer. Gayden’s artistic journey goes beyond the drum kit; he is a visionary creative director, curating immersive experiences that transcend traditional art forms.Golden Hour at Epiphany:

About:
Converging innovative musical writing with a passion for improvisation, Retrospect is a new emerging band on the Chicago jazz scene. Rooted in the voice of American music, the band's journey began as a senior recital band at Columbia College Chicago. This group boasts five instrumentalists, with composer and saxophonist Ben Jossi, Jackson Arbogast on guitar, Miles Pretel on keys and piano, Ethan Davila on bass, and Hugh Maxey on drums, the lineup was set.
Their music is a captivating blend of past and present, where jazz's improvisational spirit dances with Latin rhythms, hip hop beats, soulful blues, and a sprinkle of American roots. This unique fusion began during Ben's senior recital aptly titled "Retrospect." Soon, they headlined at Manifest, Columbia's spring arts festival, under the name "Ben Jossi's Retro Collective."
But it was their recording at Sessions@33, a Columbia production akin to a tiny desk concert, that solidified their identity as Retrospect. With some new members that brought a powerful sound, the name stuck. For Retrospect, their music identifies with jazz's limitless possibilities and adds to the allure of genre-blending. It goes beyond music; it's storytelling through the musical language this group performs with.

About:
My Fair Audrey Hepburn
When you think of Audrey Hepburn, you think of timeless beauty. But Audrey was so much more than a pretty face and a killer clavicle. From WWII refugee to Academy Award winner, from UNICEF beneficiary to UNICEF ambassador, Audrey led a remarkable and exemplary life. Actress, fashion icon, wife, mother, and tireless humanitarian, Audrey is as much beloved today as she was half a century ago. Celebrate Audrey’s 95th birthday in style! Join acclaimed Chicago cabaret artist, Hilary Ann Feldman (“… a tour de force of cabaret, opera, and jazz.” ~Chicago Tribune), along with pianist Beckie Menzie, for her touching, funny, and enlightening tribute to this extraordinary woman.
Hilary Ann Feldman
Called a "tour de force of cabaret, opera, and jazz" by the Chicago Tribune, Hilary Ann Feldman has appeared across the country and in London, England, celebrating music of the Great American Songbook past and present, while paying tribute to some of entertainment's most beloved icons.
Hilary has a reputation for clever storytelling through song, unique subject matter, and an exquisite, versatile singing voice. She is known not only for her unique take on traditional cabaret fare, but also for pushing the boundaries of what that fare can be.
The remarkable success of her tribute to the beloved Audrey Hepburn proved that music could be used to pay tribute to a non-musical icon.
"... a classy musical tribute to Audrey Hepburn. While offering a cabaret show based on a performer known more as an actress than singer might be tricky, Feldman makes it all fly... a lovely vocalist... the right balance of musicality, story, and heart."
~ Cabaret Scenes Magazine
Hilary followed up that triumph with her a tribute to funny woman Carol Burnett, which has been playing to sold out houses since it opened in May 2015 and prompted a couple of phone calls from Carol Burnett herself!
"I absolutely loved the show! I've told a few people this in my life, and now I'm telling you: You are the whole package!"
~ Carol Burnett, TV Legend & Broadway Star
Expertly weaving together her wealth of knowledge on her chosen subject with just the right music to tell the story, Hilary creates clever and compelling performances that surprise and delight audiences.
Hilary’s debut CD, Taking Flight, was named "Cabaret/Folk CD of the Year" by NY Cabaret Hotline. She is also a well-respected vocal and performance coach and the founder of Acts Of Kindness Cabaret, an organization that has raised nearly half a million dollars for local charities through cabaret performance. www.HilaryAnnFeldman.com www.AOKCabaret.org

About:
A night of transportive neoclassical soundscapes by two visionary composers.
Gregory Allison creates with a single violin a sound that travels across great landscapes. He has toured the world with violin in hand and is endlessly inspired by the instrument’s journey around the globe, especially it’s use in South Indian Classical music. His live performance blends the Indian Classical melodic improvisation with his classical sensibility as a film composer, offering the listener a sonic journey through time and space.
He will be performing his 2021 debut album Portal in its entirety, along with new compositions for amplified violin and string quartet.
Gregory recently moved back to Portland after 5 years living in LA, where he started the record label and recording studio Holy Volcano. He has released four albums on the label: one solo, two with collaborator Tristan de Liege, and as producer for the debut album from songwriter Ella Luna. He is currently collaborating with electronic composers to create ReWorked versions of the music from his debut solo record Portal.
Slow Meadow is Houston multi-instrumentalist Matt Kidd. Kidd's releases as Slow Meadow have been celebrated by the New York Observer, NPR's Stephen Thompson, Echoes' John Diliberto, and who sampled Lachrymosia for the platinum-selling song on his debut album, FREE 6LACK. In 2022, Kidd provided the original soundtrack to the film, "My Mind & Me".
Two years following 2017’s Costero, Slow Meadow returned with its third full-length album Happy Occident, a collection of textured ambient melodies. Fueled by the anxiety derivative of modern life and the frenetic and often uncertain state of these ever-changing times, Happy Occident provides music for reflection. A soundtrack to life’s contemplative moments, and an experience akin to mindfulness meditation.
In 2021, Slow Meadow is back with Upstream Dream, its first wholly new music since 2020’s By the Ash Tree, which bookends a period of creative output that introduced Kidd’s vision of calming and meditative ambient music.
With a foundation of piano, string orchestration, and an ever-evolving electronic palette, Slow Meadow has traversed the borders of neoclassical and minimalist electronics with Upstream Dream, delivering a deeply personal and transportive experience that speaks directly to the ebbs and flows and mundanity and marvels of life. With sublime patience, understated
elegance, and surreal atmosphere, Slow Meadow savors the present, remembers the past, and imagines what could be.

About:
Cassiopeia is a classical and alternative band that formed in the fall of the past year. The Chicago-based group is comprised of 3 classically trained musicians who use their time together to reminisce and explore through their music.
The group features pianist and producer June Thomas, vocalist Kensey Kendall, guitar player Alice Avery, and violinist Trinity Clay. The group met through college and their mutual love for the arts. Cassiopeia’s songs form spontaneously and intuitively. The members each bring a different element of beauty to every composition; June’s piano provides an elegant structure, Trinity’s instrumentation adds a layer of melody and harmony, and Kensey’s lyrics charge every song with emotion and memory. Together, They create music made of sorrow and cautious hope.

About Periwink:
Periwink is an emerging Chicago-based group that does primarily instrumental music with influences from Lofi-jazz beats and Video game music to Neo-Soul and Funk. This group has previously performed under the name “Kyle J-E Trio Experiment” before adding flautist Caylee Wells to the lineup and changing the name to Periwink. The group also features Gabe Guthrie on drum set and Nikolas Ballut on electric bass. Periwink also likes to feature different artists on their live sets, bringing different vocal artists or instrumentalists to add excitement to the shows with unique approaches to cover songs and new versions of original tunes.
Their music often touches on nostalgic emotions, from the warm and fuzzy feeling of childhood memories to the bittersweet longing for a past that can never be recaptured. If you’re looking for music that will transport you to a different time and place, then Periwink is the artist for you. They have released a few singles including “Light Night Snacks” and they have a lot more coming in 2024 with more original music, covers, and captivating live shows.

About:
Jace McCloy is a professional Baritone singer-songwriter from Lansing, Michigan. He is a 2015 alumni of Lansing Catholic High School, and he graduated in 2020 from Central Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in Music (Primary Instrument: Voice).
His time at CMU was nothing short of impressive. He participated in Chamber Singers, was an invited soloist at university-sponsored events, and even starred in university operas and musicals! His most notable roles consist of The Mikado in The Mikado (2018), Bishop/Ensemble in Shrek: The Musical (2018), Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd (2019), Henry Ford in Ragtime (2019), and Don Pedro in Beatrice & Benedict (2020). During the summer of 2019, Jace was also cast in the summer stock season for Dunes Summer Theatre in Michigan City, Indiana. Here, he had the pleasure of playing Luther Billis in South Pacific and Lester/Billy Bob Blood in Hansel and Gretel Meet the Swamp Witch.
After graduating, Jace moved to Chicago for three years, where he got his start with Opera Inter Alia and Chicago Cabaret Professionals. He has worked with the likes of Susan Arjmand, Stewart Thompson, Frieda Lee, Anne & Mark Burnell, Carla Gordon, Hilary Feldman, and many others. Everyone mentioned played a part in his successful performances, including his CCP debut in Passing the Torch in April, 2022! Jace also had the pleasure of working with the incredible Woodstock Playhouse Cast of 2022 in Woodstock, New York! During this summer stock season, he played Reverend Shaw in Footloose, Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast, Selsdon in Noises Off, Herr Schultz in Cabaret, and George Wilson in Gatsby: An American Musical. Upon returning to Chicago, Jace was cast as Steve/Peter Understudy in Beverly Arts Center’s production of The Christmas Schooner (2022), which was an incredible experience.
While he has had an amazing run thus far, 2023 was the year that pushed Jace’s career even further. He had successful performances in Red Hour Cabaret in February and 100 Years of Disney in July, on top of releasing his highly anticipated album, Development in March, which shows his abilities as a songwriter. In August, he debuted a new song, “New Life”, from his upcoming album, Baptism. It was this song that helped him win the Denise Tomasello Scholarship in the 2023 Emerging Artists Showcase, which he is incredibly thankful for.
In his debut show, Acceptance, Jace paints a unique picture with a mix of Pop/Jazz songs, Musical Theatre pieces, and original works. He will be joined by Jeff English on piano, Kevin Schulz on bass, and Steve Thompson on drums.

About KAIA:
From the tango of the Rio de la Plata to the string quartets of Silvestre Revueltas, the KAIA String Quartet is an ensemble devoted to promoting the rich and colorful music of Latin America. Active performers in both the US and abroad, highlights of the most recent season include a collaboration with Jazz singer Paul Marinaro and performances at Chicago area venues including the Studebaker Theatre, the Epiphany Center for the Arts, the Morton Arboretum, the Mozart Immersive Experience, and the Kenilworth Assembly Hall. The quartet's most recent tour of Uruguay and Argentina included a performance at Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires.
The Quartet plays an active role in Chicago's music scene and has performed at the Chicago Latino Music Festival, the Ear Taxi Festival, and Chamber Music on the Fox. In 2017, KAIA was the first ensemble in residence at Chicago's classical radio station, WFMT. During this residency they explored the world of Latin classical music with audiences through daily radio segments, performances and broadcasts around the city and the production of KAIA Kids, a series of children's education videos.
Celebrated by Downbeat magazine for its ability to "beautifully blur the lines between jazz, classical, Latin and world music" KAIA’s album collaboration with Fareed Haque was chosen by Chicago Tribune’s Howard Reich as one of the top ten classical recordings of 2018. Their album, Sureño, explores the music and relationship of Argentinian composers Astor Piazzolla and José Bragato. The latest recording project released in 2020 includes a collaboration with jazz pianist Ryan Cohan in his work Originations. KAIA together with Cohan and his chamber ensemble were featured performing this piece at 2019 Chicago's Jazz Fest main stage.
KAIA is deeply devoted to music education. They are teaching artists for Ravinia's Reach*Teach*Play program and for Classical Music Chicago's Young Peoples' Concerts program. KAIA founded DePaul University's Community Music Division chamber program where they inspire the next generation of performers. During the 2023-24 season, the KAIA String Quartet was invited to teach and perform at Michigan State University and Carthage College as artists-in-residence. In the summer of 2023, KAIA was on the New England Music Camp's Chamber Music Intensive faculty as the resident quartet and will be returning in the summer of 2024. Since 2018, KAIA has been the ensemble-in-residence for the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra's Summer Chamber Music Camp. The quartet traveled to Tijuana, Mexico to present and perform in schools through the sponsorship of the Mainly Mozart Festival annually between 2013 and 2017.
