🌟 JUST ANNOUNCED 🌟

9/13: Maria Chávez (), Shahzad Ismaily (Arooj Aftab, Ceramic Dog) and Greg Saunier (.saucier - Deerhoof) came together as a trio for the first time for a show in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in May 2025. Each of the players’ inimitable approach to their instruments has earned them vivid, varied and longstanding careers. Now, in this new formation, a fresh breath arrives: combining abstract turntablism, outré drumming and uncanny instrumentation, their sonic searching is as playful as it is profound.

Constellation is proud to partner with the to present 𝙈𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙚𝙙'𝙨 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙜𝙤 𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 live at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Friday, May 1st.

Constellation founder and drummer-composer Mike Reed () presents The Magic Box: Music Inspired by Fred Hopkins, a tribute to the Chicago bassist and AACM member. Featuring new works, including a commission by Henry Threadgill, the performance highlights Hopkins’ influence through a powerhouse ensemble of fellow Chicago improvisers: cellist Tomeka Reid (), flutist Nicole Mitchell (), saxophonist Greg Ward (), vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz, and bassist Joshua Abrams ().

Opening the evening, saxophonist Geof Bradfield () joins students from the Jazz Institute of Chicago’s Jazz Links Program () for The City Was Yellow: Chicago Jazz & Improvised Music 1980–2010. This program draws from Reed’s collection of compositions written during a transformative era in Chicago’s jazz history. One defined by experimentation and a spirit of creative risk that continues to resonate today.

We hope to see you at the CSO on May 1st!
