Chicago Jazz String Summit
Woodwinds and brass instruments often take the spotlight, but jazz is an adaptable genre of music that welcomes all kinds of players—even those who perform using stringed instruments. The Chicago Jazz String Summit highlights the work of experimental string players, featuring three days of performances. The 10th edition of the Summit returns with live performances at Constellation Chicago and the University of Chicago’s Logan Center for the Arts, featuring sets from cellists Dorothy Carlos and Janel Leppin, violist Joanna Mattrey and Malian master kora player Yacouba Sissoko.
