Cécile McLorin Salvant at Zellerbach Theatre

Cécile McLorin Salvant is quite simply “the finest jazz singer to emerge in the last decade.” A three-time Grammy® Award winner and recent MacArthur Fellow, this genre-defying, theatrical vocalist captivated a full house when she debuted on our stage back in 2021 and now, she returns on the heels of a brand-new album, Mélusine. With her velvety and “elusively beautiful voice” on full display, Salvant combines her conservatory-honed technique with a prismatic gift for lyrical storytelling in this must-see live performance.
