An Off-Broadway hit -- Charles Isherwood of The New York Times called it "a feast of entrancing visual allurements" -- this is the perfect show for Poe fans and musical theater fans alike.

JAZZ SONGSTRESS!

Poised. Radiant. Captivating. The words of praise for GRAMMY-winning C�cile McLorin Salvant far outstrip her years of experience - a testament to her studied, stunning command of blues, jazz, and classical vocabularies. Born in Miami to a French mother and a Haitian father, Salvant immersed herself in music from age five, eventually honing her vocal chops in Aix-en-Provence, France. It's only fitting that an artist of such unique origins would conclude the winding musical journey that is the Rialto Series, ending the season on a beautiful, high note.
