Cécile McLorin Salvant is a composer, singer, and visual artist– and we feel lucky to welcome her big talent on our small stage this summer.
The late Jessye Norman described Salvant as “a unique voice supported by an intelligence and full-fledged musicality, which light up every note she sings.” Salvant won the Thelonius Monk competition in 2010. She has received Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album for three consecutive albums. In 2020, she received the MacArthur Fellowship and the Doris Duke Artist Award, and her most recent album was released in March 2022 to critical acclaim, which she received two Grammy nominations.
