Welcome to the 27th Annual Lake Tahoe

Music Festival! “Music is one of the best

ways to enjoy the present. It’s not much fun to look forward to

hearing music or to remember what a song sounded like last week,

but music right now absorbs you and places you in the present

moment.” ~Sonnett Branche

That is why we here at the Lake Tahoe Music Festival and say

“You have to be here to feel it!” The festival’s spectacular settings

with their rich smell of pine, incomparable blue skies and

twinkling stars consume the senses. Add to that the remarkable

range of artistic talent, from classic rock and jazz to Broadway

and Beethoven, and the Lake Tahoe Music Festival becomes an

experience you’ll be happy to say you were “present”

to experience.

The Festival’s partnerships, both continued and new, are a key

component to our annual success. The same can be said for

our dedicated crew of volunteers, without whom we could not

execute such a wonderful festival experience. Each year we

eagerly anticipate the opportunities to strengthen our ties with

longtime Festival friends and forge new relationships. We also

graciously thank each and every individual that helps to build

upon the Festival’s 27-year tradition.

Despite nearly three decades of musical excellence, the Lake

Tahoe Music Festival is not immune to the same financial

challenges that face other nonprofit organizations. But

weathering the nation’s economic storm this past year has

been far less trying thanks to the ongoing generous support

of our donors and the enthusiasm of our summer series ticket

purchasers. More importantly, the support we receive allows us

to continue to expand our Educational Outreach Programs.

Thank you again for being a part of the Lake Tahoe Music

Festival’s 2009 summer concert season. Sit back, relax and

enjoy the experience!

Stefanie Olivieri, President

Nearly two centuries ago the poet Goethe wrote,

“A man should hear a little music, read a little

poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life,

in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the

sense of the beautiful which God has implanted

in the human soul.”

Times are hard today, and yet his advice has never rang more

true. The perfect antidote for stress is art, and the perfect place

for that this summer is here at the Lake Tahoe Music Festival

where you can escape your troubles with jazz, classic rock,

the best of Broadway, and classical music. Relax and reconnect

to the beauty in the human soul.

Timm Rolek, Conductor

Hello and welcome to our 2009 season! After

our successful 2008 season and the enthusiastic

response we received, the Lake Tahoe Music

Festival wasted no time in planning for our 27th

event. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the

excitement surrounding our 2009 festival as we

bring six stellar performances to North Lake Tahoe for concerts

designed to tempt music lovers with a diversity of performances,

sounds and top-notch talent.

The non-profit festival’s roster for 2009 runs the gamut including

classic rock, smooth jazz and classical. Rock legend and singer/

songwriter Boz Scaggs and classic rock performers Huey Lewis

and The News bring their hits to our outdoor venues. Grammy-

nominated Fourplay and Yellowjackets featuring Mike Stern

fill the air with their classic smooth jazz sounds. The Reno

Philharmonic Orchestra helps us celebrate the classics with

returning special guests Rachel York and Sal Viviano performing

Broadway hits from Rodgers and Hammerstein and guitarist

Chris Kachian performing at the finale.

Over the years, the Lake Tahoe Music Festival has become a

valued summer tradition for visitors and locals alike. One of the

most important goals of the festival is our ability to continue to

fund our ongoing in-school Education Outreach Programs (EOP),

an element critical to aspiring young musicians.

Due to the generous contributions of our sponsors, the Lake

Tahoe Music Festival has increased its involvement with youth

and the connection it has with the community through our

EOP. Our mission is to attract new audiences to classical music

through education, exposure and programming for youth, adults

and seniors of the communities of Lake Tahoe. Our program aids

young musical artists and emerging ensembles, offering training,

guidance and concert presentation. This year, our programs

reached more than 1470 children…now that’s something we can

all be proud of.

We’ve also enhanced our festival experience. While here,

we hope you enjoy the selections from our newest partners,

Men Wielding Fire and Rodney Strong Vineyards, as well as

returning partner Coors, at many of our season’s concerts.

Plan on trying out the mouth-watering entrees conveniently

served right inside the festival gates with items including sliced

tri-tip, baby back ribs, pulled pork sandwiches or grilled salmon

with mango sauce, just to name a few. Our goal is to continue to

expand and fine tune the festival experience.

We have a lot to be proud of and we thank you for your ongoing

support. We’re anticipating a very exciting season and we’re glad

to see you here!

vOLUNTEERSAs you enjoy this beautiful outdoor venue, take a moment and

think about what transpired to make this evening happen. The

planning, meetings and the support of the community has been

a huge effort for the many involved.

It comes down to people and we thank you for your support

and whatever plans that involved your coming to enjoy our

concert tonight.

Behind the scene has been and continues to be exciting from

every aspect. Our Music Festival would not be complete without

the work and dedication of our many volunteers. Again, it’s

the people. The Festival organization depends on nearly 100

volunteers primarily during the concert evening to organize the

flow of attendees to make your experience as comfortable as

possible from your car to your seat! It’s also important to realize

that many of these people work in the office answering phones

selling tickets as well as distributing posters in the community.

Volunteering is a rewarding contribution to any organization and

so many of our volunteers dedicate their time to many different

organizations in our area, which is what makes Lake Tahoe such

a special place. It’s comes down to the people!

Many of our volunteers have donated their time to the Lake

Tahoe Music Festival since 1990, and return with the same

cheerful attitude each year to bring about a special evening

for everyone. Yes, they enjoy the concert, but they enjoy

giving their time as well and that makes the entire experience

wonderful for everyone.

Our people, our volunteers…we thank each of you for your time

and service to the Lake Tahoe Music Festival.

following for helping keep the music alive:

HELP bRiNG mUSiC TO THE COmmUNiTY bY SUPPORTiNG THE LAkE TAHOE mUSiC ENdOwmENT fUNdIn an area rich in cultural attractions, the Lake Tahoe Music

Festival is unique. It is the premier presenter of classical and

popular music for the region, and is one of the organizations that

make the Lake Tahoe region so special. The Festival constantly

strives to provide wonderful music each year regardless of cost.

Without its patrons, sponsors, and benefactors this music would

simply not be performed in the Lake Tahoe region.

As the Lake Tahoe Music Festival’s goal is to provide this music

in perpetuity for the benefit of the Lake Tahoe community, the

Music Festival’s Board created a Festival Endowment Fund. This

fund is being administered by the Truckee Tahoe Community

Foundation, subject to the oversight of the Trustees of the Lake

Tahoe Music Festival Endowment Fund.

We invite you to join us in assuring that quality musical

events will be provided in perpetuity to the greater Lake Tahoe

community. For more information, please contact Lisa Dobey at

2008 / 2009 EdUCATiONAL OUTREACH PROGRAmThe Lake Tahoe Music Festival Educational Outreach Program

(EOP) is comprised of two components: a Fall and Spring Visiting

Artist program and the Truckee Youth Music Program (TYMP).

viSiTiNG ARTiST PROGRAmTwice a year the Lake Tahoe Music Festival brings professional

string or woodwind quartets to our local schools providing

students with invaluable learning opportunities. The programs,

held in October 2008 and March 2009, included three to six

school concerts, one to two public concerts and private and

semi-private student instruction. These presentations highlight

artistry, demonstration and techniques, such as bowing,

posturing, breathing and stage presence. In addition, student

players, parents and adult beginners of any age have the ability

to attend a Master Class. Selected students work with the

ensemble individually, attend a 30-minute class and then have the

opportunity to play with the ensemble.

fALL 2008 ANd STRiNG dAY – AfiARA STRiNG QUARTETA perennial favorite with students and teachers, the Afiara

String Quartet returned to perform for the Fall Visiting Artists

Program in October. Their school-wide performances at five

local elementary and middle schools displayed not only their

musical talent but their talent for relating their musical passion

to youth. On the following Saturday they held a highly attended

String Day and Master Class attracting 30 students of varying

ages and abilities for a day of string instruction and collective

music-making and culminating with a performance at Moody’s

restaurant in Truckee.

SPRiNG 2009 – THE SiERRA wOOdwiNd QUiNTET In April the Sierra Woodwind Quintet, comprised of Martha

Damon O’Neil on flute, David Ernst on oboe, Earline

McGrannahan on clarinet, Jamie Ernst on bassoon and Elizabeth

Lynner on French horn, visited the Tahoe-Truckee School District.

Presentations were in the intimate setting of the school band

rooms where students benefited from close observation of

the Quintet’s musical conversations and techniques. After the

performances of Mozart, Griege and Sir Malcom Arnold, in which

the Quintet demonstrated the difference between dissonance

and consonance, they held Master Classes at North Tahoe High

and Middle Schools and Truckee High School. The eight Master

Classes were given to students learning saxophone, oboe, clarinet

and trombone. The quintet gave constructive critiques to each

student and suggestions for improving technique and even

conquering stage fright!

TRUCkEE YOUTH mUSiC PROGRAmThe Truckee Youth Music Program (TYMP) provides free, private

and semi-private, after school music lessons, including musical

instruments, to students of local elementary schools in grades

3rd through 5th. TYMP specializes in assisting low-income

students and includes instruction in violin, clarinet, flute,

trumpet, oboe, saxophone or other desired instruments.

High school music student volunteers, under the direction

of a Program Director and a Student Director, teach weekly

private or semi-private, half-hour, after-school music lessons.

In exchange for their time, scholarships are awarded to those

student volunteers based on the number of hours they teach

and awarded upon graduation and enrollment into college or

continuing education.

TYMP also offers qualified elementary students opportunity

to continue their music education by providing paid private

instruction during the summer break or upon 5th grade

graduation.

The Student Director and High School Student volunteer teachers

are also eligible for additional paid private instruction during

the summer and/or opportunity to attend a music camp for

continuing their music education.

2008/2009 TYmP fiNAL PROGRAm As school let out on May 12th, the Truckee Elementary

gymnasium started to fill with students, parents and teachers

who came to enjoy the Truckee Youth Music Program’s final

spring recital. Eleven elementary students joined by TYMP

graduate students and Student Teachers took turns at the

microphone introducing themselves and telling the audience

what musical piece they were to play. Performances included

clarinet, a duet and solos on violin, piano and flute. We were

also treated to performances by TYMP graduate students that

are continuing their private music education with the support of

private donors and the Lake Tahoe Music Festival.

The Lake Tahoe Music Festival awarded graduating Student

Teachers $1,200 in scholarships this year. One graduate donated

their scholarship award to the Truckee High School music

program much to the surprise of its Director, Dave Green.

Our Student Director will also be attending a music camp

this summer.

The afternoon culminated with the Lake Tahoe Music Festival

handing out two free tickets to each of the TYMP students,

student teachers and TYMP graduates to attend the festival’s

“Broadway Night” with the Reno Philharmonic on July 30 at

Tahoe Donner. The tickets were part of the festival’s “Kids Free

Ticket Program.”

We encourage your support of the Lake Tahoe Music Festival’s

Educational Outreach Program as we further our development. To

become a supporter of the Festival’s EOP or for more information,

Timm ROLEk, CONdUCTORTimm Rolek is currently the Artistic Director and principal

conductor for Sacramento Opera, a post that he has held for the

past ten seasons. During his tenure, the company has seen a

growth in ticket sales, revenue and audience. This company is a

solid, regional level III company, which offers three productions

each season of three performances each in addition to an annual

concert and many educational and outreach events and activities.

In the now ever-changing economy, it is to his credit that he is

able to present both the familiar, standard operatic repertoire and

some works that are less familiar. His audiences trust both his

repertoire selections and his ability to balance and present casts

that offer the best of what is available in upand-coming artists.

His philosophy is that the opera/work is the most important; the

casts to populate and sing those works will follow.

In addition to his ongoing duties with Sacramento Opera,

Maestro Rolek has been a guest conductor with a number of

notable companies including Nevada Opera, Fargo-Moorhead

Opera, Skylight Opera Theatre, Rimrock Opera, Opera Delaware

and Chautauqua Opera. In addition, he held a staff position with

the Minnesota Opera and was a part of the conducting staff at

the Metropolitan Opera. This season with Sacramento Opera, he

will be at the helm for performances of The Pirates of Penzance,

Le nozze di Figaro and La Bohème. This is their first venture into

presenting one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s favoriteworks. During his

tenure with Sacramento Opera, he has developed relationships

with many directors for whom he has collaborated any number

of times. This is, in large part, a significant factor in much of the

success story that is Sacramento Opera today. Although, at this

writing, the 2009/10 season has not yet been announced, plans

are to present a possible early music work, a familiar standard

work and to do a double bill of a work that is well-known with

a contemporary piece garnering a lot of attention. More on that

will be divulged in the months to come.

Maestro Rolek is also the Artistic Director and Principle

Conductor for the Lake Tahoe Music Festival where, this

past summer (2008), included collaborating with the Reno

Philharmonic as well. From 1995 until 2005 Maestro Rolek was

the Music Director of the Grand Forks Symphony (ND. He returns

in 2009 for a program celebrating their 100th anniversary. He

formerly served as Music Director of the Heartland Symphony

(1993-1998) and has been a guest conductor with a number of

symphony orchestras as well.

Timm Rolek’s repertoire is wide-ranging for both the opera

stage and for symphony orchestras. His recordings include Jerre

Tanner’s The Kona Coffee Cantata with the Prague Chamber

Orchestra, and Joseph Fennimore’s Eventide (both on the Albany/

Troy label). He conducted the American premiere of Ernst

Krenek’s Das Geheime Koenigreich and has participated in the

Pierre Boulez / IRCAM composers and conductors workshop at

Carnegie Hall. Twin Cities Public Television KTCA-2 featured him

on their two time Emmy Award-winning program Arts on 2. In

conjunction with Northern Lights Public Radio, he produced a

nine-part radio-program called Music In Our Century. He has

served on a Lila Wallace / Reader’s Digest grant panel, Singer

Workshop panel for Opera America, has been a frequent judge

for competitions including the National Council Auditions for the

Metropolitan Opera.

After studying composition at the University of Minnesota,

Maestro Rolek studied conducting with Herbert Blomstedt,

Sir Neville Marriner, Klaus Tennstedt, and James Levine.

An avid water sports enthusiast, Rolek has participated in

both the Alcatraz Swim and the Pacific Cup sailboat race from

San Francisco to Hawaii.

RENO PHiLHARmONiC ASSOCiATiONThe orchestra, made up of over 60 local and talented musicians,

performs in Reno and in various outdoor and indoor venues.

The popular Master Classics Series is presented September

through April. The orchestra also presents over ten specialty

performances throughout the year from the holiday classic,

Spirit of the Season to 4th of July in Genoa. The Philharmonic

also boasts an impressive and diverse education department,

which includes two youth orchestras, a series of Young People’s

Concerts, Celebrate Strings program, and a Discover Music

program. The Reno Philharmonic Association’s mission is to

provide world-class, innovative musical performances and

exceptional educational and outreach programs that attract the

widest possible audience.

2009 GALA The stunning Brushwood Estate, located on the pristine West Shore of Lake Tahoe, once

again hosted our annual Opening Night Gala July 16, the official kick off to our 2009

summer concert series. Aptly themed “A Magical Mystery Tour,” the gala paid homage

to the Beatles with tribute band, The Sun Kings, while providing the Lake Tahoe Music

Festival an opportunity to thank our donors and encourage new patrons—all while

raising funds for our non-profit festival and our Educational Outreach Programs.

Thanks to the culinary creations of Executive Chef Mark Estee of Moody’s Bistro and

Lounge and fine wines courtesy of Rodney Strong Vineyards, the menu was rightly

themed from well known Beatles hits. The Quiet auction featured a plethora of highly

desirable items and the Lively auction items featured several one-of-a-kind items, such

as golf with rock legend Huey Lewis, and signed memorabilia from 2009 LTMF musicians

and the Beatles themselves.

Complimenting the theme, guests dressed elegantly with a touch of retro, and tables

were draped in Tahoe cobalt blue with fresh daisy centerpieces. The Beatles theme was

carried throughout with table numbers bearing street signs named after Beatles songs,

a card board cutout of an English phone booth for photo taking and souvenir trademark

John Lennon sun glasses for all attendees.

A big thank you to our premium benefactors for their continued support and to all first

time attendees. “A Magical Mystery Tour” was a success due to their commitment to

the Lake Tahoe Music Festival. Not able to attend this year? Details on becoming a

donor are available online at www.tahoemusic.org. We’ll see you in 2010!

fOURPLAYFor nearly two decades, the contemporary jazz quartet known as Fourplay has enjoyed

consistent artistic and commercial success by grafting elements of R&B, pop and a

variety of other sounds to their unwavering jazz foundations. In the course of ten

recordings – five of which have climbed to the top of Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz

Album charts – the super group has continued to explore the limitless dimensions and

permutations of jazz while at the same time appealing to a broad mainstream audience.

The Fourplay story begins with keyboardist Bob James, who had already established

himself as a formidable figure in keyboard jazz – not just as an instrumentalist but as

a composer and arranger as well – with solo recordings dating as far back as the mid

1960s. He couldn’t have known that the 1990 recording sessions for his “Grand Piano

Canyon” album would lead to the formation of one of the most successful jazz groups

of the past two decades combining the talents of established musicians including

drummer Harvey Mason, bassist/vocalist Nathan East, guitarist Larry Carlton and James

on keyboards. The Grand Piano Canyon sessions marked the genesis of the group that

eventually came to be known as Fourplay. Their self-titled debut album was released in

1991, and included a blend of jazz, R&B and pop.

Over the years Fourplay has released numerous hit albums including “Elixir” in 1994, “4”

in 1998, “Snowbound,” a 1999 holiday album, and “Yes Please!,” an album that challenged

the standard definitions of contemporary jazz by incorporating elements of blues, funk

and even Celtic music. The group’s most recent album, “Energy,” earned a 2009 Grammy

Award nomination for the song “Fortune Teller.” In addition, the group has topped

Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Album charts with five of its 10 albums.

HUEY LEwiS ANd THE NEwSHuey Lewis and The News have been defying the rock odds makers for more than two

decades. Formed from two rival Bay Area bands in 1979, their contagious brand of

straight-ahead rock n’ roll has outlasted countless trends selling more than 20 million

albums worldwide in the process. Huey Lewis & The News has carried the banner as

the quintessential American rock band, endearing the musicians to millions of fans and

earning their place on the pop history map.

These Grammy Award winners have written and performed such classic Top Ten Hits

as “Heart of Rock & Roll,” “Stuck With You,” “I Want A New Drug,” “If This Is It,”

“Hip To Be Square” and “Workin’ For A Livin’.” The group also wrote and performed

“The Power of Love” and “Back in Time” for the hit film Back To The Future.

“The Power of Love,” which was nominated for an Academy Award, went all the way

to #1 on Billboard’s singles chart.

As great a recording career as the band has had, it’s their live performances that remain

the stuff of legend. They have continued to tour doing approximately 60-70 shows

a year. Huey Lewis & The News have incorporated a variety of musical influences,

including R&B and soul, to create their own unique sound. A show highlight their a

cappella rendition of early rock n’ roll classics such as “Sixty Minute Man”, “Under The

Boardwalk” and “It’s Alright..

Huey Lewis & The News are: Huey Lewis (vocals and harmonica), Johnny Colla

(saxophone, guitar and vocals), Bill Gibson (drums, percussion and vocals), Sean Hopper

(keyboards and vocals), Stef Burns (guitars and vocals) and John Pierce (bass). Their live

show features a horn section of San Francisco Bay Area luminaries: Marvin McFadden

(trumpet), Ron Stallings (tenor saxophone) and Rob Sudduth (baritone saxophone).

bOz SCAGGS With soulful songs that float between the genres of rock, R&B and jazz, Boz Scaggs has

won acclaim from music industry insiders beginning with his first release in 1965 and

continuing on through 18 solo albums. The singer and musician has been associated with

some of the most incendiary talents of the rock era, including the Marksmen featuring

Steve Miller during the late ‘50s and early ‘60s and the Steve Miller Band in the mid-

1960s. His 1969 album, “Boz Scaggs,” has achieved a kind of legendary cult status for the

extended blues foray “Loan Me A Dime,” featuring an incendiary guitar solo by the late

Duane Allman.

Scaggs’ commercial breakthrough didn’t come until 1976’s “Silk Degrees,” an album that

spawned several hit singles including “Lowdown,” “Lido Shuffle,” “Georgia,” “We’re All

Alone” and “It’s Over,” reached number two on the Billboard album chart, and eventually

sold over 4 million copies. It also brought Scaggs a Grammy award: “Lowdown,” which

he co-wrote with David Paich, was voted Best R&B song.

Scaggs took a break from the music scene between 1980 and 1988, but returned with a

steady stream of albums including his most recent, the emotion-drenched “Speak Low”

released in 2008. Scaggs recorded the album, a collection of jazz standards, with a goal

of creating an intimate and textural sound using a complete orchestra. Song highlights

include Duke Ellington’s “Do Nothing Til You Hear From Me,” and Chet Baker’s “She Was

Too Good to Me.”

Combine the ground-breaking sounds of jazz quartet the Yellowjackets with the

innovative style of guitarist Mike Stern and hear two powerful forces collide. Uniting for

several explosive performances at 2007’s Montreal Jazz Festival, the Yellowjackets and

Mike Stern traveled diverse and dynamic musical paths before merging onstage and for

“Lifecycle,” a studio collaboration that was one of the most innovative and memorable

jazz albums of 2008. The first Yellowjackets recording in 15 years to feature a guitar

player, “Lifecycle” illustrates the kind of energy and creative brilliance that results when

five talented players pool their individual skills as songwriters and musicians and merge

into an entity that’s far greater than the sum

THE YELLOwJACkETS The Yellowjackets, together for more than 25 years, originally assembled as backup

musicians for the Robben Ford Group before branching off and releasing a self-titled

debut in 1981. Their exploratory and often improvisational jazz crosses genres including

world music and acoustic sounds and features keyboards, bass, drums and tenor

saxophone. The band has a steady stream of albums including “Mint Jam,” recorded

live at the Mint in Los Angeles in July 2001 and released the following year. The two-

disc set was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album. The

Yellowjackets are keyboardist Russell Ferrante, bassist Jimmy Haslip, drummer Marcus

Baylor and tenor saxophonist Bob Mintzer.

mikE STERNMike Stern is no ordinary guitar player. The axe-man has had more than a dozen eclectic

and innovative recordings in his three-decade career, four Grammy nominations and

Guitar Player magazine’s 1993 Guitar Player of the Year award. Early in his career, Stern

played three years with Blood, Sweat & Tears before he was tapped by Miles Davis to

play in Davis’ 1981 comeback band then appeared on three Davis recordings including

“Man With the Horn,” “Star People” and the live album “We Want Miles.” Stern has also

performed with jazz master Jaco Pastorius and artists such as banjoist Bela Fleck, bassist

Richard Bona and saxophonist Kenny Garrett.

mARGERY TEdEMusic was Margery Tede’s great joy and passion, and she

brought that passion to the Lake Tahoe Music Festival in its

earliest years. Working with the Festival in the late 70s and early

80s she brought Virgil Thomson and his opera, “The Mother

of Us All,” to Lake Tahoe. She also brought “The Ballad of Baby

Doe” and other operatic performances of more traditional

scope. From her second home, Tahoe Tavern, she was anything

but idle, performing and urging other talented people along.

Margery embarked on her musical studies with her mother,

pianist Jean Crockett. Graced with a luminous mezzo-soprano

voice, she began her professional singing career with the San

Francisco Opera under the direction of Kurt Herbert Adler,

and was a graduate of the prestigious Merola Program. Her

debut was as Suzuki in “Madama Butterfly,” and other critically

acclaimed roles included Judith in “Bluebeard’s Castle,” Azucena

in “Il Trovatore” and Augusta Tabor in “Ballad of Baby Doe.”

Her symphonic solo performances included the San Francisco

Symphony under the direction of Seji Ozawa and the Artpark

Summer Festival in New York under the direction of

Christopher Keene.

Throughout her professional life, Margery promoted the works

of contemporary composers. She was a long time friend of Virgil

Thompson, and along with Charles Shere, published a collection

of his correspondence with Bay Area colleagues, “Everbest Ever.”

Margery’s voice recordings include “Virgil Thompson” and “Songs

of the Silverado.

Margery was a great supporter of young musicians. She was

a founder and president of the American Concert Association,

which provides scholarship funds to aspiring artists, and taught

piano and voice in her San Francisco studio. In addition to her

role with the Lake Tahoe Music Festival she was also instrumental

in forming the Napa Valley Music Association and taught voice

in Yountville.

dEbbiE GRAviTTE Vibrant vocals and magnetic stage presence are the trademarks of

one of Broadway’s biggest personalities, Debbie Gravitte. A Tony

Award-winner for her performance in “Broadway,” Gravitte’s career

has been varied, taking her from the bright lights of Broadway,

around the world and back again.

Gravitte, born in Los Angeles, inherited the love of Broadway from

her mother and headed east to New York where she earned her

first Broadway role just eight months later. After making her debut

in the original cast of “They’re Playing Our Song,” Gravitte went

on to appear in “Perfectly Frank,” which earned her a Drama Desk

Award nomination, along with “Blues in the Night,” “Ain’t Broadway

Grand,” “Zorba,” “Chicago” and “Les Miserables.” She’s also traveled

the globe with her nightclub act, from New York’s Rainbow and

Stars to London’s Pizza on the Park and back home again to Atlantic

City, where she’s performed with Jay Leno, Harry Anderson and the

legendary George Burns.

Gravitte recently toured with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops

and has sung with numerous symphony orchestras including the

In Memoriam

Debbie Gravitte

National Symphony with Marvin Hamlisch, Peter

Nero and the Philly Pops, and the Atlanta Symphony.

Overseas, Debbie has sung with the London, Aalborg

and Birminingham Symphony Orchestras, Stockholm

and Munich Philharmonics

and Symphonica of Brazil. On television, Debbie co-

starred on the CBS series “Trial and Error” and was

seen on NBC’s “Pursuit of Happyness.” She’s also

starred in several specials for PBS including “Live from

the Kennedy Center,” “Rodgers and Hart for Great

Performances” and “Ira Gershwin’s 100th Birthday

Celebration.”

Debbie recently released her latest CD, “Defying

Gravity,” a follow-up to “Part of Your World, The

Music of Alan Menken.” Her other recordings include

“Calamity Jane,” “Unsung Sondheim,” “A Broadway

Christmas” and “Miss Spectacular,”

just to name a few. She is currently working on her

latest project, “Big Band Broadway.”
