A Special Evening Not to Miss
On Wednesday, June 18, at 6:00 pm, we close out the spring season of our Art Meets Jazz series with a truly memorable finale. We welcome the extraordinary jazz vocalist Ann Mitchell from Rochester, NY, for an intimate and swinging Tribute to Peggy Lee at the Hunt Art Gallery and Beebe’s at the Gallery.
Ann Mitchell is no stranger to the nuances and depth that define jazz vocal greats. With her refined phrasing, crystal-clear tone, and a deep understanding of classic material, Mitchell channels the essence of the legendary Peggy Lee in a way that feels both reverent and refreshing. From timeless hits like “Fever” and “Why Don’t You Do Right” to deeper cuts that showcase Lee’s often underrated songwriting prowess, Mitchell will take us on a journey through the sophisticated cool and understated intensity that made Lee a singular figure in American music.
This special performance is the perfect bookend to a season where we celebrated the intersection of visual art and jazz, two art forms that breathe life into one another. Mitchell’s performance promises to highlight just that: the artfulness of storytelling through song, delivered with elegance and emotional clarity, all while surrounded by exceptional art on display.
As we prepare to pause for summer and return again in the fall, this is your chance to not only experience the magic of Ann Mitchell live but to celebrate the warm community we’ve built through Art Meets Jazz. It’s a rare opportunity to enjoy an up-close performance by one of New York State’s finest jazz vocalists and to toast the success of this unique concert series that merges the visual and sonic arts in such a special way.
Seating is limited, and we encourage you to reserve your spot now for what promises to be a night of vocal jazz enchantment—and a fitting send-off to a beautiful season of art and music. (Click the link to go to Eventbrite directly or use the ticketing below.)
