An Evening with OLETA ADAMS and DAVID BENOIT
Saturday June 29, 2019 – 8:00 PM: Benefit concert for youth in the arts featuring our guest artist OLETA ADAMS. Since her Circle One album debut in 1990, Oleta has inspired a growing legion of fans in the U.S. and Europe with journeys of the heart via songs that draw deeply from her roots in gospel, intertwined with soul, R&B, urban, and popular music. Through the years, she has recorded with Tears for Fears, Al Jarreau, David Sanborn, Toots Thielmans and Shirley Ceasar.
Celebrating over 45 years in the music industry, Oleta has received four Grammy
nominations and was honoree of the Legends Award at the televised Black Music Honors in 2017.
Included in the evening program will be a special tribute to great jazz pianists by David Benoit and the Asia America Youth Symphony Orchestra.
Join us Saturday, June 29, 2019, at 8:00 PM at the Marsee Auditorium of El Camino College, Torrance, CA 90506.
On May 5th, the Asia America Youth Symphony will perform “An American In Paris” while artists from Ryman Arts create inspired artworks on stage.
