about
this Tribute
Step into the smoky glow of a jazz club with Tribute to Billie Holiday, an intimate lobby stage concert celebrating one of the most influential voices in American music. Known for her unmistakable phrasing and emotional depth, Billie Holiday’s songs tell stories of love, loss, and resilience—brought to life here with elegance and care by remarkable artists and musicians.
Set in the relaxed, close-up atmosphere of The Encore’s lobby stage, this tribute offers a rare chance to experience these timeless songs the way they were meant to be heard—personal, expressive, and deeply felt. Tribute to Billie Holiday is a soulful evening of jazz classics, rich storytelling, and musical artistry that lingers long after the final note.
Due to popular demand, a Saturday 2PM performance has been added on May 9.
“Lovely intimate theatre! Fantastic performance artistry, sound and energy."
