Overview
Comprised of the finest classical musicians in the country, the all-Black Gateways Festival Orchestra concludes its week-long Chicago residency with a Symphony Center concert featuring Take 6, the award-winning a cappella group Quincy Jones called the “baddest vocal cats on the planet.” The program highlights works by African-American composers including Chicago-native Margaret Bonds, whose Montgomery Variations was inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.
The Gateways Music Festival will be in residence at Northwestern University April 15-19, with two special concerts featuring the Gateways Chamber Players on April 15 and pianist Stewart Goodyear on April 17.
