Billy Strayhorn TributeLed by Kevin van den Elzen

Step into the lush, sophisticated world of jazz legend Billy Strayhorn—the genius composer, arranger, and pianist behind some of Duke Ellington’s most enduring masterpieces. In this captivating tribute, acclaimed conductor and bandleader Kevin van den Elzen leads a stellar ensemble through a night of unforgettable music, celebrating Strayhorn’s unique voice and indelible contributions to the Great American Songbook.
