Syndee Winters Sings Lena Horne
Four Your Consideration
"Lena Horne helped me believe in my own voice," Winters says. "This project is both personal and historic."
Known for her roles in Hamilton, Motown, and The Lion King on Broadway, Winters is a seasoned stage performer whose vocal control and interpretive nuance shine in jazz. Her experience with the LA Philharmonic, Boston Pops, and National Symphony adds eclectic heft to her sensibility.
As a Caribbean American artist, Winters brings a cultural dimension to this tribute, embodying the very legacy Horne stood for: elegance, excellence, and evolution.
