“There was never any doubt about her lustrous voice, with its
gospel and blues roots, its jazzy suppleness, its languid timing
and its rich empathy.”
— The New York Times
With her soulful contralto, Lizz Wright has been compared to
Cassandra Wilson, Dianne Reeves, Nina Simone and Odetta, to name
just a few. And it’s that earthy voice that commands
spine-tingling attention especially in live performance.
Celebrated as one of the jazz world’s rising stars, this
singer-songwriter is clearly on a journey—just as you will be on
hearing her moving renditions of music that is at once intimate
and technically superb. Don’t miss this exhilarating performance
accompanied by the Minnesota Orchestra.
And there’s more: the second half of this stunning program
features clarinetist Evan Christopher, also with the Orchestra,
showcasing his authentic New Orleans/Créole sound and premiering
his great new piece commissioned by the Orchestra, Treat it
Gentle Suite.
