Southern singer-songwriter Lizz Wright crafts a distinct mixture of jazz, folk, gospel, R&B, and is widely celebrated as a rising star in the jazz world. The warmth and resonance of her gospel-trained contralto is matched only by her versatile, deeply expressive style. The New York Times says, “she stands in a direct line of descent from Odetta through Tracy Chapman, singers whose source of sustenance is the African-American spiritual tradition.” Grammy-nominated Richard Bona is universally recognized as an absolute master of his art and a melodist of rare elegance and sensuality. He's a poignant singer and one of the world's greatest bassists. Newsweek says, "even the hippest of the hip give it up when the subject turns to Richard Bona, a slight, shy virtuoso of the electric bass guitar from a mud-hut village deep in Cameroon."

LLegendary TITO deemed “the prince of Cape Verdean music,” and LURA, who the Times of London has called “the most dynamic performer in World Music right now,” together create a powerful sound that captures the sensuality of Cape Verde.

Guitar, bass player, composer and singer Tito Paris, known as much for his compositions as well as the heat of his live performances, blends the sounds of Cape Verdean traditional mornas, coladeiras and funanas with the modern sounds of Portugal, Brazil and international pop. Lura is responsible for bringing the lilting Afro-Latin rhythms of the Cape Verde Islands to a whole new generation of audiences.

Dubbed “The Last Leading Man” by The New York Times, Brian Stokes Mitchell is the quintessential musical theatre performer. At home on the Broadway stage, the Tony Award- winning actor has held leads in Kiss Me, Kate, Man of La Mancha and Ragtime, and is equally at home in concert settings from Feinstein’s to Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl. The recipient of the 2006 Nightlife and MAC Awards for Outstanding Cabaret Male Vocalist in a Major Engagement, his musical versatility and thrilling voice make for an instrument that The New York Times says “rumbles out of him like thunder underlined by drum rolls.” Don’t miss this exciting evening.
