Logan Center for the Arts - Performance Hall

Due to popular demand, an early show has been added. Beat rush hour with a short and sweet set by jazz legend Tigran Hamasyan and Chicago's own Third Coast Percussion!

Named “the hottest pianist in jazz” by The Guardian, Tigran Hamasyan’s jazz mastery—steeped in the folk rhythms of his Armenian heritage—meets the “creative fearlessness” (BBC Music Magazine) of GRAMMY-winning Chicago ensemble, Third Coast Percussion. Known for their kinetic precision and daring collaborations, Third Coast brings a percussive fire to Hamasyan’s blend of jazz improvisation and folk-inspired melodies. Together, they craft a bold, rhythm-fueled experience that pushes sound and musical form to their limits.

Runtime: 1 hour with no intermission.

Supported by the Logan Center Jazz Forever Fund, a gift of the Revada Foundation. Presented in partnership with Chicago Jazz Magazine, DownBeat, Jazz Institute of Chicago, and WDCB 90.9 FM.

Join us after the show at 6:00PM in Café Logan for Chicago Stage, a free concert presented by the Logan Center in partnership with the Jazz Institute of Chicago’s Emerging Artists Project.
