TJG 30th Anniversary Special Concert // JOHN ELLIS 'MOBRO'


  • The Jazz Gallery www.jazzgallery.org (map)

A TJG Commission Revisited, this show will be one set only each night, at 7pm.

Mobro is an epic narrative chamber piece for 14 musicians using the historical journey of the Mobro 4000 as a thematic launching point, examining issues of what we consume, what we waste, and what we reject.

MOBRO was originally a commission by The Jazz Gallery as a part of its 2011 Residency Commissioning Series, which was made possible in part by a grant by the Jerome Foundation with additional support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. It was premiered at the Jazz Gallery in April 2011. The original concept was developed with additional support from The Playwrights’ Center, Minneapolis, MN in partnership with the Network for Ensemble Theaters and Theater Grottesco.
