Billy Childs Jazz Chamber Ensemble
Featuring Dianne Reeves with the Ying Quartet- Friday, October 4 | 8pm
- Baldwin Auditorium • Reserved Seating - SOLD OUT
A musical polymath, Childs is a jazz pianist, composer, and arranger who won a 2009 Guggenheim Fellowship. His main vehicle, the 10-piece Jazz Chamber Ensemble, is an ingenious melding of jazz combo and classical string quartet. With that group, Childs creates a dynamic sound unique in the musical world.
For this special commemorative concert, Childs and his ensemble are joined by four-time Grammy winner Dianne Reeves, whom the Seattle Times calls the “most compelling vocalist in jazz.” This starry group comes together on the stage of the revamped Baldwin Auditorium to celebrate the brave students who changed the community and the country fifty years ago.
Made possible, in part, with support from the Office of the President of Duke University and 50 Years of Black Students at Duke University Executive Committee.
** Please arrive early. Late seating restrictions may be in effect. **
