Concert Information
Free post-concert event celebrating the winning composers and RSMI Jazz program directors.
The Ravinia Family is deeply saddened by the passing of saxophonist and composer Nathan Davis, an invaluable faculty member of Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute Program for Jazz from its creation, and a co-director of the program since last year. Ravinia will honor Davis with the premiere performance of his original work Matryoshka Blues played in tribute to him by cellist Mischa Quint and pianist Theresa Bogard.
