Terence Blanchard

Featuring The E-Collective

Multiple Grammy® Award-winning trumpeter and composer Terence Blanchard returns to the Annenberg Center with his quintet, The E-Collective. The group creates a groove fusion teeming with funk, R&B and blues influences that range from dance-steeped party to pensive, ambient sounds. This performance will feature songs from Blanchard’s latest album, Breathless, written in response to current social tensions.

Exclusive for Terence Blanchard ticket holders - Private Tour at the ICA:
Take a pre-show private tour of the Institute of Contemporary Art's exciting, new exhibition, The Freedom Principle: Experiments in Art and Music, 1965 to Now. This large-scale group exhibition links the vibrant legacy of avant-garde jazz and experimental music of the late 1960s (particularly within the African American arts scene on the South Side of Chicago) and its continuing influence on contemporary art and culture today. The Freedom Principle tour will be held on Fri, Oct 21 from 6:30-7:15 PM at the ICA (118 South 36th Street). RSVPs for this tour are no longer being accepted.
