Samara Joy: “A Joyful Holiday” featuring the McLendon Family
Friday, December 13, 2024; 8:00pm
Presented by Absolutely Live Entertainment
Jazz’s newest star, GRAMMY® Award winner Samara Joy, travels further uptown to the United Palace, following her two sold-out Apollo Theater concerts last December, for the Holidays with her “A Joyful Holiday” tour.
Joined by members of her talented musical family who have shared the influences of gospel, Motown, and jazz across the generations, Samara delivers a sparkling evening brimming with the most time-honored songs of the season.
At only 24, her voice is wise beyond her years — a reincarnation of Sarah, Ella and Billie, with a special something all her own. She recently won three well-deserved GRAMMY® Awards: Best Jazz Vocal Album for Linger Awhile, Best New Artist of 2023, and Best Jazz Performance. The New York Times praises Samara for “helping jazz take a youthful turn,” while NPR calls her a “classic jazz singer from a new generation.”
The CORNERSTONE CHORALE will perform its Winter Concert, presenting choral works of Eric Whitacre, Ben Allaway, Norman Luboff, and the Christmas Oratorio of Camille Saint-Saëns (for chorus, soloists, and ensemble). Soloists are Jane Thorngren, soprano; Jessica Vadney, mezzo; Cristóbal Arias, tenor; and Blake Austin Brooks, bass. The concert will be conducted by Music Director Richard Stout.
