The Sun Ra Arkestra was founded in Chicago by Sun Ra in the 1950's. One of the earliest pioneers of both the synthesizer and the Free Jazz revolution of the 1960's, Sun Ra used the Arkestra to send a strong spiritual and musical message to the universe, making it better through positive vibrations, Afro-futurism, and music. In 2025, the Arkestra is known worldwide for their live shows that combine big-band swing, space-age free jazz, be-bop, singing, dancing, chanting and Afro-pageantry. The 14 person Arkestra has been at the forefront of Afro-futurism since their inception, and received Grammy Nominations for their recent albums Lights on A Satellite & Swirling.
The Arkestra has only performed in Vancouver twice in it's 70+ year history, and Infidels Jazz & MODO Live are proud to be presenting this legendary ensemble at the Pearl on Feburary 24th.
