"Wow, that's certainly not a typical pan album! Not just a collection of tunes, but a set of compositions: inspired, challenging, nicely orchestrated, and well-executed. I especially enjoyed how you sometimes seem to be heading down a familiar path, then take a detour into the unexpected. Definitely will bear repeated listening."

and collective musicianship transcended musical boundaries and genres and inspired
greater performance excellence in my entire program!"

“Callalloo Chicago provided a great experience for our middle school students, introducing them to a
variety of music styles. Our school is very diverse and students are exposed to many world cultures.
This helped bring what they’ve learned into a musical context. The students were eager to
explore some hands-on time with the band members after the performance as well.”
