Visionary Voices Behind the American Songbook with Natalie Douglas
About the Event:
Award-winning singer Natalie Douglas is renowned for her nuanced interpretations of the Great American Songbook. Her work spotlights some of the exemplary performers (Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Nina Simone) and pivotal places where audiences encountered the music. At this year’s Graham Concert, Douglas will weave a musical story featuring well-known standards and the lesser-known stories behind them. These include now-classical songs performed at New York’s storied Café Society, the first integrated cabaret in America.
