A NIGHT OUT AT NICHOLS The 2023 "Nichols Concert Hall Presents" series featured an eight-concert season showcasing some of the finest classical, jazz, and gospel musicians of our time. Three alumni pianists— Matthew Hagle, Inna Faliks, and Marta Aznavoorian—returned to the Nichols Concert Hall stage for performances, while perennial favorites like MIC's "Duke It Out!" Nutcracker and the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration played to sellout crowds. The Venezuelan Reverón Trio, co-curator of MIC's LatinAmerican programs, featured "One Composer, One Community" composer Heitor Villa-Lobos alongside other underrepresented Latin-American classical music. The joint got jumpin' with the Marcus Roberts Trio's fresh twist on jazz standards and Chicago jazz favorite and MIC Artist-in-residence Tammy McCann paid homage to gospel pioneer Mahalia Jackson.
