Duke Ellington’s Nutcracker Suite — Live at the Eubie Blake Cultural Center! ✨
Join Charles Funn and The Funn Band for a swinging holiday celebration that reimagines Tchaikovsky through the genius of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn.
Ellington’s Nutcracker Suite (1960) took the beloved ballet score and transformed it into a stylish, bluesy, big-band masterpiece — turning “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,” “The Nutcracker Overture,” and more into cool-jazz classics. It’s become a seasonal favorite because it blends holiday nostalgia with irresistible rhythm, color, and joy.
This is the holiday concert you don’t want to miss!
Bring your friends, family, and anyone who loves great music.
