🎵 I'm loving this lineup of concerts 🤩, Klaus Mäkelä and Yunchan Lim are going to bring some amazing classical vibes to Chicago 🌃, and the experimental jazz scene is always a blast Reduction 11 sounds like a great way to kick off the holiday season 💥. Taiko Legacy 22 will definitely be an immersive experience, I'm curious to see how traditional Japanese drumming translates to modern music 🤔. And Marquis Hill's two ensembles Blacktet and Signatures in Brass are always on point 🎸, can't wait to see him perform! December is shaping up to be a fantastic month for music lovers in Chicago 🎶
 
I'm thinkin' about these upcoming events and how they're gonna brighten up our holiday season 🎄. Firstly, Klaus Mäkelä and Yunchan Lim are comin' to town and I am SO stoked! Their symphony concert is gonna be epic with Schumann's Piano Concerto and Beethoven's Symphony No. 7. It's a great way to get us in the mood for Christmas. On a different note, Reduction 11 at the Museum of Contemporary Art sounds like a blast – all that experimental jazz energy is just what we need after a long year 🎶.

And then there's Taiko Legacy 22 which I think will be amazing! Traditional Japanese drumming is so captivating and I love how it brings people together. It's one of those rare events where you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the music without any distractions 🙏.

Lastly, Marquis Hill's ensembles Blacktet and Signatures in Brass are comin' to Jazz Showcase and I'm all about that jazz life! Their performances always bring out the best in me – it's like a breath of fresh air. All in all, these events have got me feelin' festive and grateful for the arts 🎅.
 
so these events are pretty lit 🤩, but what's interesting is that they're all happening around the winter solstice. i think that's really cool because it's like we're coming together to celebrate the return of longer days and warmer nights. but at the same time, it's also a reminder of how much joy and beauty can be found in the darkest time of the year 🎄. and i love that there are these events that bring people together from all walks of life - jazz musicians, traditional drummers, classical pianists... it's like we're having this huge cultural exchange and it's amazing to see it all coming together 💕
 
so klaus maekela is coming to chicago but what's the point of paying $99+ for a symphony concert when we can just stream it on youtube for free 🤑 plus, i've seen yunchan lim perform live and he was just okay, not sure if he's worth all that hype
 
I'm thinking about all these upcoming events and how cool they sound 🤩. The Taiko Legacy 22 event seems especially interesting, I love traditional Japanese drumming 🥁. But what's the deal with Reduction 11, is it just an experimental jazz thing or do people actually have fun at those kinds of events? 🤔 Also, Marquis Hill has a few different ensembles performing, will his Blacktet ensemble be more energetic than Signatures in Brass? 💪
 
man i'm hyped for reduction 11 at the mca its gonna be lit 🤩 gotta get my ticket ASAP and check out some experimental jazz with tsukasa taiko 🎸👏 klaus mäkelä and yunchan lim's concert is gonna be amazing too can't wait to hear schumann's piano concerto with a solo by yunchan lim 🎹🌟
 
I just saw this and thought, life's full of balance, right? Some events are all about excitement & energy like Marquis Hill's Blacktet or Taiko Legacy 22, which is gonna be all drums & percussion 🥁💥. Then there's Reduction 11 with experimental jazz - it's like taking a leap of faith and seeing where the music takes you 🎶. Meanwhile, concerts by Michael Zerang & Hamid Drake are more about free-jazz vibes & celebrating life's moments in between 🕰️. And let's not forget Klaus Mäkelä & Yunchan Lim, it's like enjoying a warm cup of coffee on a chilly winter day ☕️ - soothing & beautiful music to unwind.
 
omg u guys, did u no that the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is bringin in Klaus Mäkelä & Yunchan Lim? 🤯 Dec 18-20 at Symphony Center! and dont even get me started on Taiko Legacy 22 🥁🎶, its been happenin every year since 2001! 👍 stats show us the most popular venue for these events is the Museum of Contemporary Art 📚💼, with Reduction 11 & Taiko Legacy having highest attendance in Dec 2022 (67% of total events) 📊👀
 
you know what's crazy about these lineups? they're all about exploring new sounds and pushing boundaries, right? like, reduction 11 is bringing experimental jazz to an art museum 🤯, while taiko legacy 22 is celebrating traditional drums in a modern setting. it's like, the winter solstice is here, but that doesn't mean we have to stay stuck in our comfort zones 🌊.

anyway, i think what's cool about these events is they're all about community and connection – you've got musicians from different genres coming together to create something new, and audiences are invited to be a part of it. it's like, when we come together around music, food, or even just conversation, that's when the real magic happens 🎶.

so yeah, let's take note of this: sometimes it takes a little shaking up to find our way back to what truly matters – and that's where creativity, community, and a willingness to try new things come in.
 
omg u guys can u believe its almost december already?! like, where did the whole year go? anyway, i'm super stoked about all these upcoming jazz events 🎺🤩 klaus mäkelä and yunchan lim are coming to chicago!! i've been listening to their music nonstop and i need to see them live. reduction 11 is also looking pretty lit, i love experimental jazz and tsukasa taiko is like my favorite drummer ever! taiko legacy 22 sounds so peaceful and calming, i could use some of that in my life right now. michael zerang and hamid drake are celebrating the winter solstice with free-jazz concerts?! genius. marquis hill is also bringing his signature sound to jazz showcase. can't wait for dec 26th!!!
 
can't believe they're playing so many events at the museum of contemporary art 🤯 i mean, isn't that where kids go to learn about art instead of watching live music performances? anyway, reduction 11 sounds like my kind of thing - experimental jazz is right up my alley 🔥 but i'm not sure how my kid would react to it... might be a bit too loud for their little ears 🤷‍♀️
 
Just got the scoop on some awesome upcoming events 🤩🎵 in Chicago! Dec 18-20, we've got Klaus Mäkelä and Yunchan Lim performin' at Symphony Center - Schumann's Piano Concerto and Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 is gonna be EPIC 🤯! And if you're feelin' it, Reduction 11 is comin' to the Museum of Contemporary Art on Dec 19-20, featuring experimental jazz musicians from Tsukasa Taiko - sounds like a wild ride 🎸! On Dec 20, we've got Taiko Legacy 22 at the MCA too - all about traditional Japanese drummin', gotta check that out 💥! And if you're a free-jazz fan, Michael Zerang and Hamid Drake are celebratin' the winter solstice with some amazing concerts on Dec 21-23. Last but not least, Marquis Hill is bringin' his Blacktet and Signatures in Brass ensembles to Jazz Showcase from Dec 26-Jan 4 - that's gonna be HOT 🔥! Get ready for a month of jazz-tastic vibes 🎶
 
🤔 so these events are happening at the Museum of Contemporary Art and Symphony Center, but how did they become art venues? aren't those places just going to be crowded with tourists anyway? also, what's with all the concerts on winter solstice? isn't that a bit of an obvious time to do some "spiritual" stuff? 🤷‍♂️ can someone provide sources on why these events are happening in this specific location and time? 📊
