The Great Ladies of Jazz Concert

Get immersed in a soulful journey through the voices that shaped jazz history. Acclaimed vocalist Shennaya King honors icons like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, and Nina Simone with powerful performances that blend reverence and artistry.

From Ella’s playful scat in “A-Tisket, A-Tasket” to Billie’s haunting “Strange Fruit,” King channels the emotion and brilliance of these trailblazers. Audiences will hear the elegance of Vaughan in “Misty” and the passion of Simone in “Feeling Good” and “To Be Young, Gifted and Black.”

With stunning vocals and heartfelt interpretations, King creates an unforgettable evening that celebrates the women who broke barriers, defined an era, and continue to inspire generations.
