Hill Auditorium
Maria Schneider Orchestra
$12-20 student tickets available
“Maria Schneider is a national treasure,” proclaims National Public Radio. The 2019 NEA Jazz Master, 2021 Pulitzer Prize finalist (for her 2020 album Data Lords), and seven-time Grammy winner brings her 18-member collective to Hill Auditorium for their UMS debut.
Schneider’s music has been hailed by critics as “evocative, majestic, heart-stoppingly gorgeous, imaginative, revelatory, riveting, daring, and beyond categorization.” Blurring the lines between genres, her commissioners stretch from Jazz at Lincoln Center to the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and the American Dance Festival and also include a collaboration with David Bowie. Formed as a tribute to Gil Evans, who orchestrated many of Miles Davis’s charts, Schneider’s band tackles lush and complex works that bring new energy to the jazz orchestra landscape.
