Season Opening Show – Blues into the Night

Niki Haris & Denny Ilett All Stars — United Kingdom / United States

When night falls, the blues awakens. And the blues tells its stories.

A one-time meeting between American singer Niki Haris, with her mesmerizing voice, and London jazz and blues guitarist Denny Ilett. Niki Haris, known for her warm voice and charismatic style, is best known to the general public for her performances with Madonna, with whom she worked as a backing vocalist and as an integral part of the star’s major concert tours. But beyond her pop career, Haris is an extraordinary jazz and soul singer who brings soul, musical depth, and an electrifying presence to the stage. She has collaborated with giants such as Stanley Turrentine, Ray Charles, and Dizzy Gillespie, and has performed at major jazz festivals around the world.

An evening with the scent of blues-jazz, plenty of groove, and swing. Join us for a moving and special one-time evening.

Come dive into the night when the blues speaks, whispers, and shouts—blues of love, longing, and freedom, as the music leads us on a journey without time or boundaries.
