LaVette is a highly respected American soul and R&B singer, known for her powerfully emotive vocals and interpretations of songs across multiple genres. Her style blends elements of soul, blues, gospel, and rock, often characterized by raw emotionality and a distinctive phrasing.

Stern Auditorium, officially named the Isaac Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage since 1997, is the primary performance space within Carnegie Hall. Completed in 1891, Carnegie Hall was funded by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie with the intent of providing a prestigious venue for musical performances. The auditorium itself underwent significant renovation in the mid-2000s to improve acoustics and enhance audience comfort while preserving its historical architectural details. It is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and has hosted performances by countless celebrated musicians across all genres since its opening. The space accommodates approximately 2,800 patrons.
