Lana Nesnas sings Rodgers & Hart with the Rodric White Trio
Friday 1 March from 8:30pm to 11pm
Singer Lana Nesnas presents a captivating show of music by Rodgers & Hart: one of America's foremost song writing teams.
Composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Lorenz Hart's works for Musical Theatre and Hollywood Films produced an abundance of enduring songs acclaimed and recorded by singers Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, Harry Connick Jr., Diana Krall and more.
FOUNDRY616 welcomes the return of Lana Nesnas, a jazz singer whose smooth vocals convey a purity and clarity not often heard in the idiom; from flirtatiously effervescent to sultry and intoxicating.
" … A sensuous presence with a hugely assured voice that went straight to the emotional heart of all her songs" - NZ Herald
"Passionate performances of songs associated with the marvellous Billie Holiday made for a great night’s entertainment at Foundry 616 ... Lana Nesnas used her powerful voice to give her own interpretations of these well-chosen songs … The Rodric White Septet featuring singer Lana Nesnas was at the fabulous Foundry616 in Harris St, Ultimo on 14th September. The show and venue are both recommended." – Mark Piggott, The Sydney Arts Guide
