Sunday, November 10, 2024 7:00 pm
Eisemann Center, Richardson, TX
You’ll see a lot of requests from nonprofits (like us) for donations during North Texas Giving Day (which seems to last for weeks). You are certainly welcome to donate to the band, but we would prefer you
purchase tickets and attend our concert. We’re giving you a chance to hear one of the great young jazz musicians in the world.
About Jazzmeia Horn
Our next guest artist comes to us from . . . Dallas – at least originally. Jazzmeia Horn graduated from the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas. After High School, she attended the School of Jazz at The New School in New York City.
Her debut album, A Social Call, earned Horn her first Grammy nomination in 2018. She performed at the 60th Grammy Award Ceremony. Her follow-up album, Love & Liberation, earned Horn her second Grammy nomination in 2020 for best jazz vocal album. She is releasing a new album just a few weeks before our concert. Some of her awards include:
- 2008, 2009 – DownBeat Student Music Award’s Recipient
- 2010 – DownBeat Vocal Jazz Soloist Winner
- 2012 – Winner of the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, Rising Star award
- 2013 – Winner of the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition
- 2015 – Winner of the Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Competition
- 2018 – DownBeat, Rising Star Female Vocalist Winner
Opening the concert will be the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra (GDYO) Jazz Orchestra.
And thanks to generous support from the Richardson Cultural Arts Commission and the Eugene McDermott Foundation, we are able to keep ticket prices affordable for this great artist:
$34 or $24 for adults; $17 or $12 for students.
