Internationally
acclaimed vocalist Nicole Henry returns to Miami Beach's Colony Theatre for her
seventh annual winter concert at 8 p.m. Dec. 14.
The event, which benefits Miami Music Project is a highlight
of South Florida's holiday calendar. This year, Henry plans to celebrate the
season of faith and hope by inspiring "everyone to believe in a greater
good and brighter future, to believe in oneself and to believe in the children
who are our future." The concert will feature a range of genres — pop,
soul, jazz, as well as music from Broadway and the American Songbook, plus
inspirational and holiday classics.
A University of Miami graduate, Henry has firmly established
herself among the world's most powerful female vocalists, thanks to her dynamic
presence, impeccable phrasing and vibrant emotional resonance. Her passionate,
heartfelt voice and charisma have earned a Soul Train Award for "Best
Traditional Jazz Performance," three Top-10 U.S. Billboard and HMV Japan
jazz albums, and "Best Solo Musician" by Miami New Times. She has
headlined stages in 20 countries, recorded with Kirk Whalum, Julian Lage,
Gerald Clayton and Gil Goldstein and has performed with the Duke Ellington
Orchestra, the Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra and Michael Feinstein. This
October in Boston, Henry garnered critical praise in her role as the sister of
superstar Rachel Marron in a new musical version of The Bodyguard.
"Nicole Henry as Rachel's sister Nicki Marron is simply
outstanding. She has a beautiful voice, very strong acting skills, and brings
her character to life with a passion and pathos in her performance, which
leaves you wanting to see even more of her character." ~ BroadwayWorld.com
A long-time Miami Beach resident with a deep commitment to
her community, Henry serves on the board of the nonprofit Miami Music Project,
which empowers and transforms children — and ultimately their families and
communities — through the study and performance of music. More than 30,000 students have been served in
the past decade by the project's programming and outreach.
