Lush Life: The Music of Billy Strayhorn
 

The biggest concert in Atlanta Gay Men's Chorus history will honor the work of Billy Strayhorn, the African-American and openly gay composer of such classics as Take the A-Train, Satin Doll, Lush Life and many other tunes made famous by Duke Ellington. Shimmering arrangements for male voices are woven together by characters of the women who were closest to the composer, including Lena Horne and Ruth Ellington Boatwright. Presented in collaboration with Jazz Orchestra Atlanta and the National Black Arts Festival, and featuring guest star Donzaleigh Abernathy, this concert promises to be a highlight of Atlanta's summer cultural events.
