Cécile McLorin Salvant

About the Concert

The wondrously creative vocalist, storyteller, and MacArthur Genius Award recipient Cécile McLorin Salvant returns to the House of Swing, where she first captivated audiences with her daring artistry. A singular artist and true iconoclast, Salvant defies expectations at every turn, drawing from a vast repertoire that spans familiar standards in surprising new arrangements, original compositions, reinterpretations of centuries-old songs, and rarely performed gems from the Great American Songbook. In the intimate setting of her quartet featuring her frequent collaborator, pianist Sullivan Fortner—winner of the Cole Porter Fellowship in Jazz, the Larry J. Bell Jazz Artist Award, and 2026 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Album—Salvant wields her preternaturally supple voice, unerring phrasing, and encyclopedic knowledge to create performances that are at once intellectually thrilling, emotionally profound, and unmistakably her own.
