An evening of Ellington and Strayhorn

Orania.Berlin is delighted to present an evening dedicated to the timeless music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, whose collaboration defined elegance and innovation in Jazz. Ellington, a masterful composer, pianist, and bandleader, created enduring works like Mood Indigo and Sophisticated Lady, while Strayhorn’s refined, impressionistic style graced classics such as Take the A Train and Lush Life. Together, they shaped a legacy of sophistication and artistic brilliance. 

Pianist Declan Forde, a regular performer at Orania.Berlin and a prominent figure in Berlin’s Jazz scene, brings these masterpieces to life in an intimate and refined setting.
