There has been no looking back for the amazingly creative esperanza spalding. After winning the 2011 GRAMMY® Award for Best New Artist, the bassist and singer has gone on to win four more GRAMMYS®, including Best Jazz Vocal in 2020, and to wow audiences all over the world.

esperanza kicks off our 2023/24 Jazz series on September 26 with music from her latest albums—Songwrights Apothecary Lab, 12 Little Spells, and Chamber Music Society—in collaboration with choreographer, dancer, director Antonio Brown and his company. As an extension of her research on and co-exploration of music-dance possibilities with elders, musicians, and dancers, audiences can also expect what esperanza calls “TBICC,” or “to-be-improvisational-co-composed" pieces.

 

Presented without the Nashville Symphony.

Over 38 million viewers tuned in to hear the results of more than 124 million votes cast during their finale making it the most watched Idol episode in history and the highest rated regularly scheduled, live, non-sporting television episode of the 21st century. Combined they have recorded twelve albums, sold more than eight million albums worldwide, toured the country 14 times, starred together on Broadway, won four Billboard Music Awards, an American Music Award, and have been nominated for two Grammys.

Twenty | The Tour will highlight the music that made Ruben & Clay American Idol favorites and household names. From Clay’s iconic rendition of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” to Ruben’s soulful single ”Sorry”, join America's favorite odd couple for an unforgettable evening of music and memories, spanning two decades, delivered as only these true superstars can.
