This celebration of the versatile and widely influential jazz singer Sarah Vaughan, whose nicknames included “Sassy” and the “Divine Sarah,” will find talented admirers performing her music in front of a full orchestra. “Among the singers of her generation, only Ella Fitzgerald enjoyed comparable stature,” The New York Times wrote of Vaughan, whose hits included “It’s Magic,” “What Lola Wants” and “Make Yourself Comfortable.”

Leading audiences in the celebration will be Grammy-winning vocalists Patti Austin (@pattiaustinofficial) and Lisa Fischer (@l.i.s.a.f.i.s.c.h.e.r), along with Grammy-winning trumpeter Randy Brecker (@randybrecker) and the winner of the 2023 Sarah Vaughan Vocal Competition, Tyreek McDole (@tyreek.mcdole), all accompanied by the Frost School of Music’s Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra.
