Now, 25 years later—on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of Ellington’s birth—Moran guest curates an intimate evening of Ellington’s music in the round, with a single piano in the center of the room and invites legendary jazz pianist Abdullah Ibrahim and other acclaimed pianists, including Bertha Hope, Joanne Brackeen and pianist Micah Thomas, to join him in the celebratory performance.
The Saturday, April 27 performance will be a benefit concert for Harlem Stage. After this all-star performance, there will a riveting discussion between Moran and Ibrahim on Ellington’s significance, followed by a lively cocktail reception.
Performance Schedule:
FRIDAY & SATURDAY @ 7:30 PM
