Cécile McLorin Salvant Quintet in Greenwich

Greenwich Library’s Peterson Concert Series invites you to an afternoon of jazz featuring three-time Grammy Award-winning jazz vocalist and composer Cécile McLorin Salvant. Salvant will be accompanied by four world-renowned jazz musicians: Sullivan Fortner on piano, Keita Ogawa on percussion, Martin Sewell on guitar, and Alexa Tarantino on flute.

This event is IN-PERSON only and will not be recorded or streamed.

Please note: For everyone’s safety, all attendees will be required to show proof of full vaccination (in the form of their CDC Vaccination Card or a photo or photocopy of the Card) or a negative PCR Test taken within 72 hours of the event. No one will be admitted without this documentation. Protocols may be modified as and when laws, science, and/or institutional requirements change. Please note that all attendees will be required to wear face masks at all times (regardless of vaccination status), per the Greenwich Library Board of Trustees.

Cecile McLorin Salvant, a 2020 MacArthur Fellow, is currently on a worldwide tour promoting her highly anticipated upcoming album, Ghost Song (Nonesuch Records, March 2022). The album, her sixth, features seven originals as well as five reimaginings of songs by Kate Bush, Gregory Porter, Sting, Harold Arlen, and Kurt Weill. According to Nonesuch, Ghost Song is an exploration of the many ways people can be haunted, by lingering memories, roads not taken, and ghosts real and imagined. It delves into the themes of ghosts, nostalgia, and yearning. “It’s unlike anything I’ve done before,” Salvant has said of the new album, “it’s getting closer to reflecting my personality as an eclectic curator. I’m embracing my weirdness!”

 

The Peterson Concert Series is open to all at no charge through the support of the Greenwich Library Board of Trustees and generous donors.
