Two things that look really fun at Strathmore this weekend…
| Dee Dee Bridgewater in “To Billie With Love: A Celebration of Lady Day” Presented by Strathmore Friday, November 6, 2009 at 8:00 PM Music Center at Strathmore |
This incomparable singer has won a Tony Award (The Wiz), Grammy awards, and France’s Victoire de la Musique, among others. In this eagerly awaited Strathmore return engagement, Dee Dee Bridgewater incarnates the legendary Billie Holiday, recreating Lady Day’s take on such classics as “God Bless the Child,” “Lady Sings the Blues,” “All of Me,” “When You’re Smiling,” “I Can’t Get Started” and more. “Astounding!” (The New York Times)
| WPAS: Michael Feinstein “The Sinatra Project” Presented by Washington Performing Arts Society Sunday, November 8, 2009 at 7:00 PM Music Center at Strathmore |
Singer, pianist, archivist and all-around entertainer, Michael Feinstein can arguably lay claim to the title of the “hardest working man in show business.” The four-time Grammy nominee swings back into town with The Sinatra Project, a big-band tribute to one of the greatest performers of all time.
