Congress Parkway. Featured guest artists for this extraordinary performance will include student musicians from Cuba’s national conservatory of the arts. Tickets are $29 - $68 and are available at AuditoriumTheatre.org, by calling (312) 341-2300 or in-person at the Auditorium Theatre’s Box Office, 50 E. Congress Parkway. Subscriptions for the Auditorium Theatre’s 2015 - 2016 season and discounted tickets for groups of 10 or more are also available.

This United States premiere, featuring musicians from Cuba, is another historic moment to celebrate,” said Executive Director Brett Batterson. “Orbert and the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic were witnesses to the earliest days of our country’s new relationship with Cuba and will bring those emotions, as well as the rich history of Cuba’s music, to the Auditorium for an extraordinary performance.” In December 2014, Davis and Chicago Jazz Philharmonic musicians conducted a weeklong residency at Universidad de las Artes (ISA), Cuba’s national conservatory of music in Havana, culminating in the debut of this new work at the Havana International Jazz Festival.

We seek to build the capacity of individuals and the systems that serve them. Our vision is a Chicago that offers education, prosperity, and hope for all. About the Foundation In 1933 Lloyd A. Fry founded the Lloyd A. Fry Roofing Company on the Southwest Side of Chicago. During the next five decades, the company grew to become the world’s largest manufacturer of asphalt roofing and allied products, with nearly 5,000 dedicated employees in manufacturing facilities nationwide. The company was sold to Owens-Corning Fiberglass Corporation in 1977. In large part, the proceeds from the sale of the company now serve as the endowment of the Lloyd A. Fry Foundation.
