Join celebrated vocalist Tiffany Austin and her stellar ensemble for a joyful exploration of the transformative power of song. Beyond its aesthetic beauty, music can soothe the nervous system and the soul, chronicle a history, unite community, and take us beyond the world we know. From lullabies to freedom songs to jazz songs and so much more, we'll traverse the magic of music!
ABOUT TIFFANY AUSTIN
Born and raised in South Los Angeles, Austin grew up in a house filled with music. Her parents listened to soul and pop masters like Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder, while her Louisiana Creole grandmother introduced her to jazz. “She really taught me what soul was about,” Austin says. “She had a great sense of herself and didn’t let anyone make her feel less than herself. When I sing the blues or jazz, I draw on that Grandmama place.”
