Ellington Sacred Concert

Saturday 17 June 2023, 7.30pm
Stoller Hall, Manchester

Conductor Neil Taylor
Soloist Louise Clare Marshall
and
The Cotton Tail Orchestra

Duke Ellington, one of the jazz greats, was a prolific composer and deeply religious. His Sacred Concert, written and performed between 1968 and 1973, combines jazz, classical, choral, spiritual, gospel, blues and dance music: a joyous celebration of love, life and freedom. Louise Marshall’s smouldering voice spans the genres, and the Cotton Tail Orchestra is led by jazz trumpeter Graham South.
