No Exit Presents: Either/Orchestra

With a dozen critically acclaimed albums and over 1000 performances in the US and 12 foreign countries, the Either/Orchestra draws on a huge repertoire and depth of experience to thrill their audiences. Known for their idiosyncratic approach, sublime wit, and the ability to surprise and delight, E/O will perform two concerts in Cleveland with a different program at each event.

Celebrated as important champions of Ethiopian music and Ethio-jazz, and among the first non-Ethiopian artists to perform at the Addis Ababa Ethiopian Music Festival (2004), E/O will be joined in Ohio by Ethiopian singers Bruck Tesfaye and Munit Mesfin. Director Russ Gershon says audiences can expect “deep grooves from the Africa-North America-Latin America pan-African space; intricate ensemble playing by E/O’s 6 horn section; strong soloing from all 10 members; surprising juxtapositions–and to FEEL and be ENTERTAINED!”  Don’t miss this “best little big band ever!”
