Claudia Hommel
is best known for her cabaret concerts of French and American songs
celebrating Paris, a theme she has developed in her recordings Paris/Paree,
Paris in the Jazz Age and her latest, Romance Language. A favorite
from the Club at Chicago Symphony Center to the Museum of Montmartre
in Paris. Born in Paris, France and raised in Detroit, Hommel has
led an active career as a theatrical singer in New York and the Midwest.
Her repertoire encompasses French chanson, American standards, 19th
and 20th century art songs and theatre music.
After more
than 40 years as a studio musician playing primarily bass, Johnny
Frigo emerged from the shadows at the age of 70 to become one of the
world's greatest jazz violinists. Honored with several awards, among
them a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Federation of
Musicians and Downbeat's International Critics honor roll for Best
Violin, he is often featured at the Chicago and North Sea Jazz Festivals
and other international venues.
The Metropolis
Performing Arts Centre, conveniently located at the intersection of
Campbell and Vail Avenues in downtown Arlington Heights, is a fantastic
venue to hear live music.
