AACM at 50

Chicago’s storied Association for the Advancement of Creative
 Musicians has provided a unique place for musicians of all
kinds to  create unique and stunning new creations.


AACM turned 50 in 2015 and we’ll celebrate with performances of
 Afterword, an opera about the AACM by longtime member and
celebrated  composer George Lewis.


We’ll chat with Lewis about the piece, the AACM, and play music
by other AACM composers.
