Carmen Bradford and Gary Motley in Studio A

  On Friday, May 5 at 7:30 PM, the Interlochen Arts Academy Jazz Ensemble will present “A Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald.” Ella Fitzgerald, also known as “The First Lady of Song,” would have turned 100 last month.

 

The concert features two guest artists, jazz pianist and composer Gary Motley and singer Carmen Bradford. Motley and Bradford visited IPR’s Studio A to perform some music and to talk about the legacy of Ella Fitzgerald.

 

 

Tickets for “A Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald” are available here. The live stream of the concert can be viewed here.

In honor and recognition of the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation for their continued generous scholarship support.
