Nine-time Grammy nominee and multi-faceted artist Nnenna Freelon lends her voice and grace to the second concert in the new Jazz at All Saints’ Concert Series.

Long esteemed in jazz circles as a vocalist, composer, and arranger, Nnenna has channeled personal loss into new outlets for her creativity. Her latest album, Beneath the Skin, and debut book, Beneath the Skin of Sorrow: Improvisations on Love, are love letters of loss, honoring both her late sister and her late husband, the renowned architect Phil Freelon, who is best known as the lead designer of the Smithsonian’s Museum of African American Culture and History and Atlanta’s National Center for Civil and Human Rights.

Concert takes place in the sanctuary of All Saints’ Episcopal Church beginning at 7:00 p.m. It will be followed by a Q&A with Jazz at All Saints’ Artistic Director Virginia Schenck and a reception in the Parish House.
