Colombian harpist Edmar Castañeda is a featured performer on May 14 at 8 p.m. CDT at the 8th Chicago Jazz String Summit (CJSS). Founded by cellist and composer Tomeka Reid, CJSS is a BIPOC-led organization that presents live performances showcasing jazz, improvised, and experimental music by internationally celebrated string players. This year’s event will take place over the course of two evenings at Constellation Chicago, with free string workshops held virtually in collaboration with Experimental Sound Studio.
You can read our interview with Castañeda in the January/February 2011 issue of Harp Column. For more information about the event, visit the CJSS website.
