Chicago Bass Ensemble
Upcoming Performances
Come and see us play live!
- June 20, 2008 We'll be playing a short set as a trio, probably around 8:45 pm at the Elastic Arts Foundation's performance space: 2830 N. Milwaukee, 2nd Fl., Chicago IL 60618 (1 block north-west of Diversey/Kimball) above Friendship Chinese Restaurant. The show starts at 8pm with Dal Niente. We will perform works by Jan Alm, area composer Lee Kesselman, Doug Johnson and possibly some duos by Patrick Neher. We may also participate in the rest of the evening's event, a performance by the Tomorrow Music Orchestra.
- A while back, we recorded an interview with bass blogger and podcaster Jason Heath. Visit his blog to listen.
