This program of music theater and jazz songbook standards, curated by Kurt Elling to highlight the fellows of RSMI’s Program for Singers, features arrangements by Lee Musiker, who served as music director and pianist on Tony Bennett’s Grammy-winning albums of duets and has backed countless artists across jazz, classical, Broadway, and pop genres. In the vein of last summer’s sellout RSMI Singers concert with Musiker that celebrated the music of Stephen Sondheim, two-time Grammy winner and Chicagoan Elling is shaping an afternoon of songs that uniquely tap into each artist’s stage persona to tug at a vast range of emotions with this music of our time.

This program is part of the Ravinia Steans Music Institute 2023 festival season.
