This unique concert features virtuoso classical and electric guitarist Fareed Haque in his exploration of his Latin roots. Recently Haque came to the realization that there were few if any Latin American jazz guitarists playing Latin American music! While the folk music of Latin America is commonly heard around the world, the popular music of Latin America circa 1950 has rarely been taken as seriously as the same music stateside.Songs like Sabor a mi, Est Tarde Vi Llover, Contigo Aprend, and so many more, are wonderful vehicles for the classic electric jazz guitar.Haque will perform his own unique arrangements of classic Latin American popular songs he learned from his Chilean mother, his time in South America and years of touring with Latin jazz legends Paquito D' Rivera, Hernia Mann, Tito Puente and many others. Featuring Alex Austin, bass, Jose Maria Piedra, percussion and Gregory William Fundis, drums.Friday, April 12, 2019 7:30 P.M.Tickets $30www.MetropolisArts.comBox Office: 847-577-2121

THE LODGE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
18 Villa Court, Elgin, IL
The Lodge Performing Arts Center, 18 Villa Court in Elgin, was initially constructed in 1927 as a home for the Elgin Elks Fraternal Order. After many years of celebrating brotherhood at this location, the building was used as office space until it was reborn as an entertainment venue in 2026 following an 18-month, $2 million dollar renovation.
The Lodge Performing Arts Center is home to two resident theater groups, Schaumburg On Stage/Students on Stage and point2point productions. In addition to these two production companies, the lower level is home to the Elgin Arts Showcase, an innovative black box performance venue operated by the City of Elgin. Outside organizations are free to inquire about rental availability at thelodge@schaumburgonstage.org.
Both the Elgin Art Showcase and The Lodge Performing Arts Center are fully accessible for persons that require barrier-free access at our 220 DuPage Entrance. Both spaces are equipped with accessible seating and accessible bathroom facilities. The Lodge Performing Arts Center has Enhanced Hearing Devices for all performances upon request. Units are limited, so please contact us prior to the date of your arrival at thelodge@schaumburgonstage.org to reserve your hearing device.
