Anagram Series Archive

MISSION

From its inception in 2015 to its conclusion in 2023, the weekly Anagram Series curated by saxophonist/composer Nick Mazzarella presented 340 concerts primarily featuring contemporary jazz and improvised music—and, occasionally, classical, new, and world music—with the goal of exploring how these genres may interrelate and inform one another. The series provided young musicians with an opportunity to test and refine ideas, develop collaborations, and gain valuable performance experience, while also serving as an open platform for seasoned and touring artists to present new work. Although most of the performers who appeared on the series are based in Chicago, Anagram also hosted musicians visiting from Milwaukee, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, New Orleans, New York, Los Angeles, France, Italy, Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Ethiopia.
