Join us for a live presentation of Jonathan Hannau’s debut solo piano album. Pieces I Wrote on a Cold Winter Night is a deeply personal reflection on his ever-evolving relationship with music. Written while in residence at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, the album is Jonathan’s first honest foray into the repetitive and reflective nature of minimalism. He dives into a world of complex textures, winding melodies, and repetitive ostinatos that ebb and flow to reflect the untamed season of winter.

IMPORTANT COVID-19 INFORMATION

When we come together in-person for Academy performances, shows, and exhibitions, our first priority remains the health and wellness of students, families, and faculty and staff. The Academy is implementing a COVID-19 Vaccination and Mask Requirements plan for indoor performances through the end of 2021. The specifics of this policy — which is in line with most performing arts venues in Chicago — include:

1. Wear a mask: All patrons, regardless of vaccination status, will need to wear a face covering throughout their time at an indoor Academy event, including the duration of the performance.

2. Proof of vaccination OR negative test: guests will need to be fully vaccinated with an FDA-authorized vaccine in order to attend an indoor performance and must show proof of vaccination and identification at the time of entry. “Fully vaccinated” means the performance date must be at least 14 days after the second dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine, or at least 14 days after a single-dose vaccine.
   
   Those ineligible or unwilling to be vaccinated may alternatively provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of the performance start time, or a negative COVID-19 antigen test taken within 6 hours of the performance start time.

3. E-tickets: There will be no physical tickets to Academy events. Tickets will be delivered to your email shortly after your purchase, however it is not necessary to present them to be allowed admittance. The ticket email is just a confirmation. The Academy will have a list of those with tickets for the event, and you simply need to check in at the security desk.

Please note: these requirements were created based on current circumstances and may change without notice.
