Bettye LaVette live in New York

Experience Bettye LaVette live on December 9th

Bettye LaVette will perform at Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall in New York City on December 9, 2027. LaVette is a celebrated American singer known for her powerfully emotive vocals and interpretations spanning genres including rhythm and blues, soul, blues, gospel, and rock and roll. Her career began in the early 1960s, though wider recognition arrived later with critically acclaimed albums like “I’ve Got a Right to Cry” (2003) and her interpretations of songs by artists like The Rolling Stones and Tom Waits. She is particularly noted for her ability to infuse classic songs with raw emotional depth and a distinctive personal style.

Stern Auditorium, officially named the Isaac Stern Auditorium/Ronald O. Perelman Stage since 1997, is the primary performance space within Carnegie Hall. Opened in 1891, Carnegie Hall was funded by Andrew Carnegie and quickly became renowned for its exceptional acoustics. The auditorium has hosted performances by nearly all of the world’s leading musicians across all disciplines. Its design incorporates a shoebox shape considered ideal for orchestral music; however, it regularly hosts performances of diverse musical styles including jazz, pop, and world music.
