Step into the golden age of jazz for a soulful holiday evening celebrating two of music’s most iconic voices—Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.
Singer Stella Heath and her stellar quintet pay loving tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, the First Lady of Song, weaving her timeless melodies with rich historical insights and captivating stories that bring her legacy to life.
The evening also shines a spotlight on the enigmatic Billie Holiday—“Lady Day” herself. Wrapped in mystery and raw emotion, Billie had a rare gift for making every song feel deeply personal, as if she were singing directly to you. Featuring some of the Bay Area’s finest jazz musicians, Stella’s quintet recreates the electric intimacy of a 1930s jazz club, performing beloved standards like “Blue Moon,” “Billie’s Blues,” and “Strange Fruit,” alongside lesser-known gems from Billie’s early catalog. Stories from Billie’s life are artfully woven throughout the performance, adding depth and heart to the music.
Celebrate the season with timeless songs, rich stories, and the unmistakable glow of jazz!
