Posted 12/26/2010 in Community and Events.
If you're looking for something to do tonight, there is a great event happening at town hall: the Annual Concert of Sacred Music by Duke Ellington, presented by Earshot Jazz. It starts at 7:30pm.
Ellington's wonderful "Sacred Music" is both serious and swinging. It is a reverent and hip body of jazz composition, written late in his career, for jazz big band, vocal and instrumental soloists, gospel choir, and tap dancers.For the past 21 years Earshot Jazz has presented an annual concert of Ellington's Sacred Music. The concert features the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, co-directed by Michael Brockman and Clarence Acox, guest vocalists Everett Greene, Nichol Eskridge, and the NW Chamber Chorus, and special guest tap-dancer Alex Dugdale.
Tickets run between $15-34 and can be purchased beforehand at Brown Paper Tickets.
