Dee Dee Bridgewater
Vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater will headline the Sheldon Concert Hall's annual fundraising gala to be held on Friday, April 21, 2006. In addition to her Grammy Award winning work as a jazz vocalist, Bridgewater has won a Tony Award for performing in the Broadway musical The Wiz, and also hosts the program JazzSet on the NPR radio network.
This concert is being billed as a 100th birthday tribute to Josephine Baker, the legendary entertainer born in St. Louis who became the toast of pre-WWII Europe. The art galleries at the Sheldon will be featuring a Baker-related exhibit at the same time.
Since it's a fundraiser, good tickets are expensive - $500, to be precise, which includes cocktails and dinner, preferred seating, a post-concert reception and other perks. Fortunately, there also will be single tickets available for $40 and $45, but they don't go on sale until April 1.
