All Souls Jazz Festival in Chicago

The 18th annual All Souls Jazz Festival will take place at the Chopin Theatre in Wicker Park (1543 W. Division, Chicago IL, 60622) on November 7th, 2016 at 7pm.

Our festival mirrors an annual jazz festival that has unfolded for over fifty years in the historic city of Krakow, Poland. Over time, the Chicago counterpart has grown to become a popular event with both the local Polish community and American music connoisseurs. This year, traditionally, as many as fifty musicians, representing various jazz styles, will perform on two stages at the Chopin Theatre till’ the sunrise…

Poland has embraced jazz for more than half a century, the music coursing through cities such as Krakow, Warsaw, Poznan and more.

So it should come as no surprise that Chicago, with its enormous Polish population, would pick up the country’s jazz pulse – during the annual All Souls’ Day Polish Jazz Festival at the Chopin Theatre.

Inspired by a comparable event in Krakow, Chicago’s All Souls fest looks, feels and sounds like no other jazz soiree in this city. Audiences swarm into the Chopin Theatre, socializing in the lobbies and hallways, munching on Polish delicacies through the night and savoring jazz steeped in Polish culture.
