Three-time Emmy Award Winning Storyteller—Bobby Norfolk, Daughter of Legendary Sportscaster Jack Buck—Vocalist Beverly Brennan, and UMSL Chancellor and Pianist—Tom George Performing at Webster Groves Concert Hall April 13
A client of mine has produced an event that is sure to be an enjoyable Friday evening!
Take the “A” Train, named for the train to Harlem from New York City and known as the signature tune of Duke Ellington’s orchestra, is a musical cabaret of comedy, storytelling and poetry. This will be a memorable evening of celebrating the artistic achievement of African-Americans in the early 20th century, when art, music and poetry exploded out of Harlem. Guest can expect to experience works from Langston Hughes, W. E. B. Dubois, Booker T. Washington, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and many more.
Bobby Norfolk, storyteller and educator, will bring to life the literary works of the evening’s celebrated artist while UMSL’s Chancellor, pianist Tom George, will bring the soothing sounds of jazz to the audience. Beverly Brennan, Director of the night’s event, will grace the concert hall with her vocal sounds for God Bless the Child, Satin Doll, Sophisticated Lady and many more tunes.
