About this Event

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.

From the haunting beauty of “Lush Life” to the timeless swing of “Take the ‘A’ Train,” Strayhorn’s work blends elegance, complexity, and emotional depth. With fresh arrangements and heartfelt reverence, this performance explores the life and legacy of a man whose music shaped the sound of an era—yet whose story often remained in the shadows.

Join us for an evening of bold harmonies, sophisticated melodies, and jazz storytelling at its finest. This is not just a concert—it’s a journey into the heart of one of America’s greatest musical minds.
