George Mason University's Center for the Arts

Jim Carroll, Artistic Director
Steve Lippia, Guest Vocalist
The trademark of this remarkable group of musicians from Washington, D.C. has always been the insightful interpretation of classics by revered jazz masters. This year, the Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra pays tribute to the great Frank Sinatra, with guest artist, Steve Lippia. Mr. Lippia is one of the country’s most prominent interpreters of classic pop music, and has “an astounding approximation of Frank Sinatra’s voice.” (Courier-Post) Reminiscent of Sinatra’s concerts, the program will include some of the most memorable tunes from Count Basie and Buddy Rich that showcase these great jazz instrumentalists as well as the magnificent talent of Steve Lippia.

Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy are not only two of the world’s most celebrated fiddlers—they are also husband and wife. Both have appeared frequently at the Center—Natalie in solo performances and Donnell fronting the dynamic family group, Leahy. Now our audience will have the opportunity to witness the fruits of their musical matrimony during this unforgettable evening of Celtic music. “Dual fiddle wizardry…amazing synergy,” says the Intelligencer Journal of this vivacious couple from Canada. This collaboration’s foot-tapping rave-ups, heart-wrenching ballads, and remarkable step dancing leave onlookers breathless from the moment they take the stage.
