Estonian Musicians to Perform at Jazz Poetry Month Event in Pittsburgh

WEDNESDAY, September 22, 7:00 PM EDT
Slow Motion Orchestra
Run time: 120 minutes

Formed in Tallinn, Estonia in 2021, Slow Motion Orchestra is a group of jazz musicians who had been playing together in various iterations for decades, and were looking for a new creative outlet. Their instrumental music is hypnotic and introspective, perfect for self-discovery and sparking the creativity of listeners. At times their music combines spoken word and guided divinations, to offer consultation and health, high hopes and inspiration. This concert is an evening with masterful Estonian musicians looking to stretch their own creativity. 

Since 2005 September in Pittsburgh means it’s time to celebrate Jazz Poetry at City of Asylum. This year, Jazz Poetry 2021 melds all the opportunities of virtual programming with the thrilling return to in-person concerts, all while speaking to the very core of City of Asylum’s mission to protect and celebrate creative free expression. 

There will be 9 completely different concerts including 4 international commissions created specially for Jazz Poetry 2021. Some will be virtual, some will be live-streamed from Europe directly to Pittsburgh, and some concerts will be live at City of Asylum @ Alphabet City. All concerts will continue to be streamed on our virtual programming channel. There are plenty of options to tune-in and participate and we’re welcome to welcome back this community in whatever way suits you best. 

All programs are streamed and can be watched at any time.
