Nick Schneider Celebration of Life

In August 1979, the ensemble was the opening band on the first night of the First Annual Chicago Jazz Festival. 44 years later, the CJO stands as not only the oldest professional big band in Chicago, but also the second oldest professional civic jazz orchestra in the United States (second only to the Columbus Jazz Orchestra).

Chicago Jazz Orchestra feat. Eric Schneider

War affects everyone. Together with pianist Eric Schneider, soprano Anna Prohaska gives voice to those who leave and those who stay behind, those who flee and those who die. Intimate lieder by Franz Schubert and Hugo Wolf are interwoven with the trenchant modernism of composers such as Hanns Eisler and Charles Ives: as a born storyteller, Prohaska forges their soldier tales into a many-voiced whole.
