Olivia Van Goor returns to Kerrytown Concert House for her third appearance, this time honoring one of her greatest vocal inspirations: Anita O’Day. A self-described “song stylist,” Anita brought a bold, innovative sound to jazz that captivated Olivia early in her career. Through iconic recordings like “Tea for Two” and “Sweet Georgia Brown,” as well as hidden gems such as “Waiter, Make Mine Blues” and “Hershey Bar,” Olivia will trace Anita’s remarkable journey—a story of both triumph and turbulence. Joined by a stellar jazz trio, Olivia invites you to experience the legacy of a woman who defied the mold of the typical “girl singer” and reshaped the sound of vocal jazz forever.

The restless yearning of Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony and the rich voice of Dvořák’s cello concerto together explore the poignant beauty of longing, loss and redemption—where the darkness of sorrow is complemented by the sweetness of light.
