DuSable to Obama: Chicago’s Black Metropolis
February 4 | 7PM
Kehrein Center for the Arts
Experience LIVE in concert, Orbert Davis' Emmy Award winning score to DuSable to Obama: Chicago’s Black Metropolis — a critically acclaimed documentary that first aired on WTTW in 2010. Explore more than 200 years of Chicago's black history through the music that defined it: the ragtime rhythms of the early 20th Century; the big-band swing of the 1930s and '40s; the modal jazz experiments of the civil rights era, and more.
Witness history come to life through the sounds of Orbert Davis and Chicago Jazz Philharmonic this Black History Month.
