When Joni Met Mingus

The IJO brings you another ground-breaking concert. This year is the 30th anniversary of Charles Mingus’ passing and also of his 1979 collaboration with Canadian singing and songwriting legend, Joni Mitchell.

Special guest vocalist Christine Fagan and a unique chamber jazz orchestra will perform classic Mitchell and Mingus tunes as well as all the music from their collaborative album. This concert will feature elements of jazz, pop, folk and gospel with a surprising blend of written and improvised music arranged by Adrian Cho. Come and hear Joni and Mingus’ music like you’ve never heard it before!
