Event: cp2 (Chicago Philharmonic Chamber Players) presents “St. Nick in Shades: Fresh Riffs on Holiday Tunes”

Date/Time: Sunday, December 20, 2015 / Noon, Doors open at 11am

Venue: City Winery Chicago (1200 W Randolph St, Chicago)

Cheryl Wilson, Jim Gailloreto, and Jeremy Kahn team up for a program of holiday favorites that run the gamut from jazz tunes like “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” to classical pieces like “Oh Holy Night” to pop hits like “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” With original arrangements of all the afternoon’s songs, the group puts its own stamp on these familiar favorites. Cheryl Wilson – a member of the music faculties at Roosevelt University and UIC who has collaborated with artists as diverse as Michael Jackson, Mavis Staples, and Celine Dion – navigates this varied terrain with her versatile voice. Jim Gailloreto struts his stuff as he expertly showcases the colorful sounds of practically the entire woodwind family, including saxophones, flutes, and clarinets. Pianist Jeremy Kahn tempers the afternoon’s wide-ranging program with a jazz flavor.

Brunch will be available for purchase before and during the performance. Casual attire is encouraged.
