Rossen Milanov, Music Director
Next Event:
Stuart Chafetz, conductor
Ledisi, vocalist
Ledisi’s love for classic songs and legendary singers knows no bounds. The Grammy-winning vocalist celebrated the catalog of Nina Simone at the Hollywood Bowl in 2021, and now, on her new album For Dinah, the powerhouse pays tribute to Dinah Washington. Raised in Alabama, Washington sang the blues and jazz with the same charm she brought to pop. Ledisi brings the same spirit across everything she does, imbuing Washington’s classic songs with the verve of neo-soul and contemporary jazz. Be there and see why John Legend called her “one of the greatest singers in the world, period.”
In the first half of the program, Principal Pops Conductor Stuart Chafetz leads the Columbus Symphony in popular tunes ranging from Pirates of the Caribbean to Earth, Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder.
