presented by San Diego Symphony Orchestra

With one of the most distinctive voices in jazz and popular music history, Billie Holliday remains beloved around the world decades after the end of her too-short life. “Lady Day” set the standard for jazz singing with her unique phrasing and warm vocal qualities, eloquently bending tempo and pitch. Gilbert Castellanos assembles an outstanding lineup of musicians and a very special guest vocalist to pay tribute to this elegant, essential artist. Selections to include “Speak Low,” “Willow Weep For Me,” “Lover, Come Back To Me” and many more Billie Holiday classics!

Come early for a pre-concert performance presented onstage at 7pm by students from the Young Lions Jazz Conservatory.
