Umbrella Music Fest

[rpklich]

Umbrella Music is having their 2nd Annual Festival at the begining of November. This stuff is subject to change and I suggest using now-is.org to keep up.

UMBRELLA MUSIC is pleased to announce the complete

schedule for the SECOND ANNUAL UMBRELLA MUSIC

FESTIVAL, celebrating the diverse and cooperative

nature of the Chicago jazz and improvised music scene.

Scheduled for November 1st - 5th, 2007, the festival

will take place across the city at some of the main

venues for jazz and improvised music, and will feature

an all-star lineup of visiting musicians alongside

many of Chicago’s finest veterans, journeymen, and

upstarts. Better yet, this year’s festival introduces

a new partnership between Umbrella Music, The Chicago

Department of Cultural Affairs, and several European

consulates and cultural organizations, culminating in

a full evening of concerts on Monday, November 5th at

the Chicago Cultural Center entitled “EUROPEAN JAZZ

MEETS CHICAGO.”

For more information about the performers, venues, or

the event in general, visit WWW.UMBRELLAMUSIC.ORG.

The second annual Umbrella Music Festival is sponsored

in part by The Boeing Company.
