Hailed by both Rolling Stone and Billboard Magazines as a singer with an exquisite voice, Vivian Sessoms has sung with Cher, MJ, P!nk, Joe Cocker, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Chris Botti, Christina Aguilera all around the world, and brings her own vibrant blend of jazz, soul, and protest music to The Ellington for an exclusive two shows only!
A passionate and charismatic performer with a unique approach to her music written in collaboration with partner and co-producer Chris Parks, her performances are a constant showcase of versatility and emotional depth, reflecting her extensive music career, and professional history.
Her vibrant and engaging attitude is partly owed to Vivian’s background: she was born in Harlem, into a family where art and music were ever present, and the house constantly overflowed with musicians, painters and poets.
Many a performer can entertain an audience, but only a very few can connect with a listener on a deeply personal level, serve up a stunning introspection on todays political and social climate, and deliver a soul stirring performance in the process. Vivian Sessoms is such an artist. Back in Australia for the first time in 6 years – don’t miss this thriilling performance!
