Grammy Winner Cassandra Wilson to Open Hyde Park Jazz Festival
< Back
Monday September 14, 2009
World-renowned jazz musician and vocalist Cassandra Wilson will kick off the Hyde Park Jazz Festival with a performance at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25 at the University of Chicago’s Rockefeller Memorial Chapel.
The concert will include selections from Wilson’s most recent album, “Loverly,” which earned a 2009 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album, plus a collaboration with students from the Kenwood Academy Concert Choir. The students will perform several songs with Wilson, including an original piece that will be composed during a series of workshops slated to take place with the students prior to the concert.
“I’m always excited about performing, but to have the opportunity to work with students is about as good as it can get,” said Wilson.
