Grammy Winning Jazz Artist Brings Soulful Voice to Irvine Barclay Theatre
01.07.20
Grammy winner Diane Schuur performs at Irvine Barclay Theatre on Friday, January 10 at 8 p.m. Long regarded as one of contemporary jazz's leading vocalists, two-time Grammy winner Diane Schuur is as eclectic as she is brilliant. With a career spanning four illustrious decades, she sings the treasured standards from the Great American Songbook including songs by her friends Frank Sinatra and Stan Getz.
Employing many of the top jazz players in the country, including two-time Grammy-winning saxophonist Ernie Watts, Schuur is an alluring entertainer. Possessing a crystalline, three-and-a-half-octave vocal range, she traverses a straight-ahead brand of jazz in her trademark style—simultaneously romantic and mischievous, radiating warmth and soulful passion. Tickets range from $40 to $100 and can be purchased at thebarclay.org or by calling 949.854.4646.
Irvine Barclay Theatre is located at 4242 Campus Drive in Irvine. For more information, visit thebarclay.org.
