Maria Schneider with the Calgary Jazz Orchestra!

This coming Monday January 23rd, 2012 come and see Maria Schneider with the Calgary Jazz Orchestra at the Calgary University Theater!!
New York-based Maria Schneider is an acclaimed American jazz composer and big band conductor who, like her mentor, the late Gil Evans, creates unique and celebrated musical pieces for large bands. Her music is exceptionally original and has been described as a mix between avant-garde jazz and modern classical.
The music is very challenging (especially my piano parts :) and the orchestra is working really hard preparing for this performance.
Make sure you get your tickets in advance as it is very unique occasion to see Maria personally leading and conducting her orchestral work.
