About The Concert

Inspired by Harlem’s famed musical hot spots like The Cotton Club and The Savoy, this swingin’ night of tunes brings you back to a time when Duke Ellington’s orchestra was the house band—and Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Calloway, and Ethel Waters showcased unforgettable classics.

This concert will include an intermission.
