Chicago Jazz Philharmonic Presents Through Ella’s Eyes

Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, under the direction of Emmy Award winning composer Orbert Davis, proudly announces the return of “Through Ella’s Eyes,” a vibrant tribute to the irreplaceable Ella Fitzgerald in celebration of her 107th birth anniversary.

Saturday, August 17th | 7pm
Logan Center for the Arts | Performance Hall
915 E. 60th Street | Chicago
Tickets: $45 | $20 for children under 12 years old

This one-night-only event marks the second performance of “Through Ella’s Eyes.” The full 55-piece orchestra will once again bring Ella’s timeless music to life at the Logan Center for the Arts.

Artistic Director Orbert Davis reflects on Ella’s enduring legacy:

“Ella continues to deserve recognition. She’s one of the few singers who transformed the link between swing and bebop. In fact, Ella was bebop. Ella’s voice was not merely an instrument, it was a rare force of nature that many jazz legends aspired to emulate.”

Experience the magic of Ella Fitzgerald’s music like never before as Chicago Jazz Philharmonic captures the essence of her artistry. Witness the First Lady accompanied by the orchestra in a special performance of “Angel Eyes.”

“Through Ella’s Eyes” is a testament to the First Lady of Song’s unparalleled influence on the world of jazz and beyond.

This performance is made possible by Chicago Jazz Philharmonic’s Concert Sponsors: The Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation, the Caerus Foundation, and the Ozinga Foundation.
