Acclaimed jazz singer Antonia Bennett, daughter of the legendary jazz icon Tony Bennett, will join the Carmel Symphony Orchestra at 3 p.m. on April 21 at the Palladium for a concert celebrating Duke Ellington’s 125th birthday.
Principal Guest Conductor Joel Smirnoff will lead Bennett and the orchestra through two Great American Songbook favorites, Ellington’s “The River” and Gershwin’s “An American in Paris.”
Tickets are available online here and at the Center for the Performing Arts Box Office by calling (317) 843-3800.
Bennett’s musical journey began amidst legends like her father, Rosemary Clooney, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra. In 2023, she released the single “Right On Time,” solidifying her status as a vocalist with captivating prowess and style. The New York Times hails her voice as a blend of Billie Holiday and Rickie Lee Jones, with a hint of Betty Boop.
“I perform songs from the Great American Songbook and my own original music,” Bennett said. “With a proven track record, these songs have shaped the American musical landscape, and resonated with diverse audiences over the years. I approach my performance with the belief that there’s something for everyone.”
