'Sophisticated Lady': An Evening with Denyce Graves to Benefit the Duke Ellington School of the Arts February 25, 2009

Critically-acclaimed opera singer and Duke Ellington School of the Arts alumna Denyce Graves will take center stage for a unique multi-part recital featuring classical, jazz and pop, Americana and spirituals on Wednesday, February 25, 2009.

Graves’ sultry mezzo voice will be backed by outstanding musical accompanists in the Kennedy Center’s Concert Hall. All proceeds from “Sophisticated Lady - An Evening with Denyce Graves” will support The Duke Ellington School and their high school-aged student artists and performers.

If you missed Graves in Carmen, this is your chance to see her home-town performance and give back to the community. Tickets are now available and are a unique holiday gift.
