esperanza spalding
It’s a fabulous night of orchestra-meets-jazz with headliner — and Portland’s own — esperanza spalding: bassist, singer, songwriter, composer, and Grammy Award winner performing her own songs with arrangements that showcase the expanded forces of the orchestra. Among esperanza’s heroes is jazz icon and multi-Grammy Award winner Wayne Shorter, whose music you’ll also enjoy on this program, including Gaia, a work for vocals, jazz quartet, and orchestra co-written with spalding.
esperanza spalding is co-director of Prismid Sanctuary, a place in Portland, for Indigenous, Black and all POC artists and cultural workers to convene, rest, and heal.
