Below is a schedule of the weekend’s events. The events are subject to change. Please check prior to Jazz Weekend for any changes that may have occurred. All events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.
Performing Arts Series: René Marie & Experiment in Truth
7:30 p.m. | Memorial Chapel | Tickets Required
In a span of two decades, 11 recordings, and countless stage performances, vocalist René Marie has cemented her reputation as not only a singer but also a composer, arranger, theatrical performer, and teacher. Guided and tempered by powerful life lessons and rooted in jazz traditions laid down by Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, and other leading ladies of past generations, she borrows various elements of folk, R&B, and even classical and country to create a captivating hybrid style. Her body of work is musical, but it’s more than just music. It’s an exploration of the bright and dark corners of the human experience and an affirmation of the power of the human spirit.
