Featuring founding members Darwin Noguera on piano and Victor Garcia on trumpet, the Chicago Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble fuses Afro-Latin American music with jazz. The group uses Latin rhythms as the core of its hybrid sound, and the basis for its innovative and exciting explorations of jazz boundaries. Founded in 2006, CALJE boasts a bevy of acclaimed Chicago jazz musicians in its lineup, and strives to follow in the footsteps of such pioneering groups as Arturo O'Farrill's Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra and the Dizzy Gillespie United Nations Orchestra. For this performance, CALJE will premiere a freshly commissioned work.

Mitch Albom's Inspiring Drama Tuesdays with Morrie On Stage

Full Price:: $29.00 - $33.00
Our Price:: $14.50 - $16.50

Based on journalist Mitch Albom's real-life friendship with his favorite college professor, Tuesdays With Morrie chronicles the lessons Albom learns during visits while his mentor and friend is dying from Lou Gehrig's Disease, or ALS. The two delve into the themes of life, love, wealth, aging, dependence, peace and death. It is through these weekly visits that Albom realizes just how much he still has to learn about values and priorities. Albom's 1997 book by the same name has sold more than 14 million copies worldwide to date, was adapted into a successful film in 1999, and premiered as an off-Broadway play, written by Albom himself, in 2001. Amelia Barrett directs this Buffalo Theatre Ensemble production. Learn More
