FROST MUSIC LIVE

As you know, our concerts for the remainder of the season had to be cancelled. During this time of uncertainly, music is necessary to soothe the soul, inspire and bring joy to the heart. Music brings us together, even when we need to be far apart.
In that spirit, we have selected some of our favorite concerts from this past year to share with you.
Join us every Friday night at 7:30 p.m. EST.
Let’s keep the music going until the curtain rises again!

Shelton G. Berg
Dean, Frost School of Music
Patricia L. Frost Professor of Music

Date: May 15 @ 7:30 p.m. EST.

Frost Jazz Vocal Ensembles with guest Sheila Jordan

Originally performed on November 12, 2019.

NEA Jazz Master Sheila Jordan is a one-of-a-kind singer and songwriter. She studied with Lennie Tristano and Charles Mingus; called Charlie Parker her “big brother” and teacher; has performed and recorded as a leader as well as with top artists and groups, and then nearly invented a performing setting featuring just voice and acoustic bass. Jordan is a true original with an unmatched talent for reimagining standards and inventing lyrics on the fly.
