# Event Details - **Event Name**: Helen Sung Oracles Quartet - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 10:00 pm - **Event Description**: Guggenheim Fellow, Steinway artist, and one of jazz's most compelling pianists and composers brings her Oracles Quartet to The Side DoorAbout this EventHelen Sung is a Houston-born, classically trained pianist who found jazz during her undergraduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin — and never looked back. She went on to be part of the inaugural class of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance, where she studied under an extraordinary group of mentors: Clark Terry, Ron Carter, Jimmy Heath, Wayne Shorter, Barry Harris, Kenny Barron, Herbie Hancock, and Sir Roland Hanna. It was Ron Carter who told her, "In order to find your voice in this music, you have to write your own music" — and that directive has shaped everything she has done since. She went on to win the Kennedy Center's Mary Lou Williams Jazz Piano Competition, become a member of the Mingus Big Band, and earn recognition from some of the music's greatest voices. Wynton Marsalis has written of her: "As a soloist, arranger, composer and bandleader she has developed an expansive vocabulary that encompasses the richness, virtuosity, freedom and humanity that defines the best jazz."In 2021 she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, which enabled her to bring her debut big band project Oracles to fruition — a deeply personal album paying tribute to the eight jazz masters who shaped her at the Monk Institute, released in June 2026 on Sunnyside Records. The Oracles Quartet distills that same spirit into an intimate small group setting — closer, more conversational, and utterly alive. This is a rare opportunity to experience one of jazz's most distinctive voices in an intimate room.The Side Door Jazz Club is a dedicated jazz listening room located inside the historic Old Lyme Inn, 85 Lyme Street, Old Lyme, CT. Tickets are reserved seating. Guests dining at the Old Lyme Inn prior to the show receive 10% off their dinner bill. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/old-lyme/helen-sung-oracles-quartet/100001991800527997 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, contests, workshops, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 27.98, max: 59.75, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Old Lyme - **state**: CT - **country**: United States - **location**: The Side Door - **lat**: 41.32454070000001 - **long**: -72.32636630000002 - **full address**: The Side Door , 85 Lyme St, Old Lyme, United States - **location**: The Side Door ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Helen Sung Oracles Quartet - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/6aba467b56284f5b23b2cbcfea71367f99dfe3707d566bac98aed337d0222643-rimg-w1200-h800-dc111111-gmir.jpg?v=1781450961 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Helen Sung Oracles Quartet being held? - **A:** Helen Sung Oracles Quartet takes place on Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 10:00 pm at The Side Door , 85 Lyme St, Old Lyme, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Helen Sung Oracles Quartet? - **A:** Helen Sung Oracles Quartet is organized by The Side Door Jazz Club. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
