Event Details
Chicago-based duo, vocalist Petra van Nuis and pianist Dennis Luxion, celebrate the music and lyrics of Irving Berlin, one of America's greatest songwriters. Tunes will include "Cheek to Cheek," "Always," "Heatwave," "Count Your Blessings," and more. Petra and Dennis play at all of Chicago's top jazz venues, including the Jazz Showcase, the Green Mill, and Andy's Jazz Club.
Their recordings have been rereleased in Japan and used as in-flight entertainment on All Nippon Airways (Japan's largest airline). Petra and Dennis have been noted for “seamless camaraderie” (Chicago Jazz Magazine) with a style that is “hauntingly atmospheric and filled with creative substance” (All About Jazz), taking listeners to “a place where the agony, comfort, and hope of life meet” (Japan's Jazz Critique Magazine).
Free tickets will be given to those present starting at 2:30 pm.
