Drummer, composer, and educator Camila Mennitte Pereyra was born and raised in Córdoba, Argentina, and currently resides in Chicago. Camila moved to the States in 2014 to pursue her Bachelors in music at UW-Eau Claire and then went on to pursue her Masters at Indiana University. Shortly after moving to Chicago, Camila was selected to be a part of the JIC Links Fellowship Program. This performance will feature works by female composers and arrangers as well as some pieces by South-American composers.
The Jazz Institute of Chicago’s Jazz Links Fellowship Program (JLF) offers opportunities to learn on-the-job with JIC mentors’ guidance, and performance opportunities across the city in communities underserved by the arts. The Jazz Links Fellowship Program is supported by the Andrew Mellon Foundation. This concert is presented in partnership with Constellation.
