About this event
“Classy & Sassy: A Lena Horne Tribute!” is a musical tribute to the indefatigable Lena Horne — iconic singer, dancer, actress, and political and Civil Rights activist who began her career at age 16 in the world famous Cotton Club chorus line. Julia Breanetta Simpson channels the legendary performer in a cabaret-style show featuring classic songs by Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, and more, backed by a smoking hot combo of piano, bass, and drums.
For this special evening, Asbury Church will be transformed into The Cotton Club of the 1940's. Guests will enjoy a tapas buffet dinner, mocktail bar, and dessert, in addition to this fabulous show. $75 per guest, or a table of six for $400. A portion of each ticket will be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
All proceeds will benefit Music at Asbury's free community concert series and Breanetta Productions, whose mission is to honor and celebrate the contributions of African-Americans to culture and society through the arts.
