Perhaps more than any other city in the United States,
Chicago, located at the center of the nation, has
reflected the cultural diversity of significant musical
talent. Drawing ideas from great Chicago musicians
like jazzman Lionel Hampton, bluesman Muddy
Waters, and big band King of Swing Benny
Goodman, in 1967, Chicago musicians formed a
group with one dream – to integrate all the musical
diversity from their beloved city and weave a new
sound, a rock ‘n roll band with horns. Chicago
Transit Authority was born, and their dream
turned into 20 Top Ten singles, 12 Top Ten albums
(five of which were #1), and sales of more than 120 million
records. Out of the love and respect for the music of
Chicago, in the fall of 2002, a band called Beginnings
was born on Long Island — and they’ve been dazzling
audiences ever since. Join us for an amazing evening
with Beginnings, the best of Chicago’s music, right here at
the DHPAC. This show will sell out, so get your tickets early.
