Experience Camille Thurman live on August 19th

Camille Thurman is a contemporary jazz vocalist and multi-instrumentalist known for her dynamic performances and compositions rooted in the traditions of swing, bebop, and gospel music. Her work often incorporates original arrangements alongside interpretations of classic jazz standards, showcasing her improvisational skills on vocals, saxophone, and flute. She frequently explores themes of spirituality and social consciousness within her musical storytelling.

The concert is scheduled to take place at the General Grant National Memorial, located in New York City. This site serves as the final resting place of Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States and commanding general of the Union Army during the Civil War. Originally dedicated in 1897, the memorial is architecturally significant as the largest mausoleum in North America, designed in a neoclassical style reminiscent of a Roman temple.

The memorial grounds are administered by the National Park Service and offer a historically resonant setting for cultural events. Hosting a jazz performance within this space represents an intersection of American history and artistic expression, acknowledging both Grant’s legacy and the enduring influence of jazz music as an American art form. The location provides a unique backdrop reflecting a period of significant national transformation.
