Chicago Live! May the Force Be As You: The Nova Portals Sound Bath
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10
Wave Wall Stage | 7:30PM-8:30PM | FREE
Nova Zaii is a sonic experience designer, drummer, and producer from Chicago. Zaii invented and patented a touchless musical instrument called the Nova Portals, and performs genre defying futuristic live sets with occasion-specific intentionality.
He has performed the Nova Portals live for the likes of Kavi Gupta Gallery, Hermès, and TEDx Chicago. He is a founding member of the band The JuJu Exchange, which has a broad catalogue of jazz-electronic music including the chart topping debut record Exchange, and the most recent full length LP, BEHOLD . Zaii’s vision as an experience designer is to invite the listener into an immersive zone of profound creative stimulation, through which identity, purpose, and essence can be vividly explored and beheld.
We are excited to present the 2025 Chicago Live! Community Engagement Program, running September 3rd-18th. This program offers Chicago neighborhoods the chance to join free classes and workshops and learn more about some of the city’s top performing arts groups before seeing them on stage with Chicago Live! RSVP links are provided for select dates; events without a link first come, first served.
