Ethel's Love Legacy, featuring Charenée Wade and the Peabody Jazz Ensemble

Description

Celebrate the music, life, and legacy of Ethel Ennis during an evening inspired by the Sheridan Libraries exhibition Ethel's Place: Celebrating Ethel Ennis, Baltimore's First Lady of Jazz on view through April 18 at the George Peabody Library.

Performances by acclaimed Peabody faculty jazz vocalist Charenée Wade and the Peabody Jazz Ensemble will bring to life some of Ethel's signature songs.

Between song sets, Ethel's husband Earl Arnett and the singer's longtime percussionist and friend Gaynell Colburn will share stories of how Ethel spread her love through songs, relationships, and even business ventures. This soulful evening of music, memories, and love is not to be missed!

This program is made possible by the Sheridan Libraries and the Billie Holiday Center for Liberation Arts, Johns Hopkins University, through a grant from the Mellon Foundation.
