Brass Transit — The Musical Legacy of Chicago
Saturday, October 17, 2026 · 8:00 PM
Formed in 2008, Brass Transit brings together eight accomplished, award-winning musicians devoted to the music of Chicago. They have toured North America performing the Chicago songbook — “Saturday in the Park,” “25 or 6 to 4,” “If You Leave Me Now,” “You’re the Inspiration” — with meticulous attention to every detail, and have scored the show for full symphony orchestra.
Make a night of it: begin with food and drinks at the Marquee Club, then move next door into the historic Empress Theatre for the performance.

Dinner + Show — Two Quick Bookings
Show admission and Marquee Club dinner reservations are handled separately. Buy your show tickets through TIX, then reserve your dinner table for the same evening. Dinner begins at 5:30 PM, and the Marquee Club connects directly to the Theatre.
Please note: a show ticket does not reserve a dinner table, and a dinner reservation does not include show admission unless the event specifically includes a package.
Your dinner table isn’t reserved yet.
TIX opened in another tab. When you’re finished there, come back here to reserve your Marquee Club table for this same evening.
Make a night of it: dinner first in the Marquee Club, then the show next door, straight through the connecting doors and never outside.
Doors 7:00 PM.
