Maria Schneider Orchestra at NJPAC
Sunday, Nov. 21. $59. 3PM and 7PM

Composer and bandleader Maria Schneider used to call her group the Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra. But the word 'jazz' felt limiting, especially as she began collaborating with people like David Bowie and incorporating more sounds and techniques from classical composition into her music. Earlier this year, Schneider was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Music for her two-record set called Data Lords, a remarkable musical response to the incursion of Big Data into our everyday lives. The Maria Schneider Orchestra plays two shows, Sunday afternoon and evening, Nov. 21, at NJPAC in Newark.
