An Evening with Damien Escobar
ONE NIGHT ONLY
June 19, 2021
Whiting Auditorium
7:30 pm
Tickets available - In-Person and Streaming
|
|
Musician. Entrepreneur. Philanthropist. Humanitarian. Damien Escobar bears many titles and puts no limits on what more he can achieve, making him one of the most prolific figures hailing from Jamaica, Queens. The Emmy-winning NAACP Image Award nominee possesses a nearly two-decade-spanning resume that includes billboard chart-topping albums, sold-out global tours, collaborations with music legends, and more — an inspirational success story that started with Escobar playing his violin on NYC subways. Proving his hustle, drive, passion, and unquestionable talent are the pillars that hold up his ever-expanding brand.
Damien’s energetic live performances feature a wide range of “cross-over” musical styles consisting of a mix of classical, jazz, pop, R&B, and hip hop. His eclectic use of genres creates a sound that embraces the traditions of jazz and classical music as much as it highlights his singular innovation as an artist and his desire to explore beyond the boundaries of the sonically mainstream. There is something in Damien’s music for everyone, and it is truly best enjoyed live.

Message from the executive office
There was good news this week from the state that has raised hopes for all performing arts organizations returning to full audience capacity this fall. We now know the magic number is 70%! The MI Vacc to Normal Challenge has charted a course back to full reopening for our public performance venues. When the state reaches 70% vaccination coverage (1 or more doses) +2 weeks the Gatherings and Face Masks Order will be lifted. The current vaccination coverage as of May 6 is 51.2%. There’s a promise for our theatres and classrooms to be full once again.
We wish all mothers health and happiness and an all-around amazing week-end!
Sincerely,
|
