For 40 years the internationally acclaimed Either/Orchestra has been bringing their altogether singular, intoxicating and often unconventional jazz stylings to audiences the world over. Known for their idiosyncratic approach, sublime wit and ability to always surprise and delight, No Exit is thrilled to present this dynamic ensemble to listeners in Northeast Ohio. Either/Orchestra will be performing two concerts in Cleveland, presenting a different program for each night.

As part of their eclectic sound world, the Either/Orchestra have been important champions and purveyors of Ethiopian music and Ethio-jazz. In 2004, E/O were the first (along with Susheela Raman that same year) non-Ethiopian artists to be invited to perform at the Ethiopian Music Festival in Addis Ababa. For Either/Orchestra’s Cleveland performances, they will be joined by Ethiopian singers Bruck Tesfaye and Munit Mesfin.
