COVID-19 UPDATE
In the interest of public health and for the safety of our patrons, musicians, and Chanhassen staff, JazzMN has made the difficult decision to cancel our October, 2020 and December, 2020 concerts.
As of now, JazzMN’s next concert, featuring Brazilian vocalist Luciana Souza, is scheduled for April 26th, 2021. If you already purchased tickets for this show (originally scheduled for April 20, 2020), they are still valid in your same seats. The artistic work and planning we have already put into this concert will make it one of JazzMN’s most exciting and memorable performances! Information about this concert is shown below.
We appreciate your support and understanding during these difficult times. Although we truly don’t know what the future holds for live performances, we are working hard to make certain that future includes the best music you have ever experienced. We miss our audiences and look forward to performing for you next year.
JazzMN is live music at its finest.
The JazzMN Orchestra is the Twin Cities premier professional jazz ensemble, comprised of the top jazz musicians in the metro area, featuring world class guest artists and providing educational programs to schools and colleges throughout the region.
Luciana Souza Returns to JazzMN in 2021
Grammy-winning Brazilian vocalist Luciana Souza will join JazzMN with her unique vocal personality and versatility. Her work as a performer transcends traditional boundaries around musical styles, offering solid roots in jazz, sophisticated lineage in world music, and an enlightened approach to new music.
Ms. Souza has performed and recorded with many great artists including Herbie Hancock, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Bobby McFerrin, Maria Schneider, and many others. Entertainment Weekly says, “Her voice traces a landscape of emotion that knows no boundaries”.
Since you can’t come to us, we’ll come to you!
Our Artistic Director, JC Sanford, has created a cool video of JazzMN performances from this past year, fun cameos by our musicians and a special message from Luciana Souza, who was to be our featured guest artist at our April 20, 2020 concert (now rescheduled).
