Sacred Jazz with Deanna Witkowski

Worship service with Deanna's original sacred music and jazz hymn arrangements. Deanna will also give a workshop for the River Valley AGO (American Guild of Organists) chapter as well as an evening concert on Sat, November 14 (more info TBA).

Known for her adventurous, engaging music that heals the soul, pianist-composer-vocalist Deanna Witkowski moves with remarkable ease between Brazilian, jazz, classical, and sacred music. Her first book, Mary Lou Williams: Music For The Soul (Liturgical Press), is the winner of the 2022 ASCAP Foundation Deems Taylor/Virgil Thomson Award and the 2022 Jazz Journalists Association Award for Biography of the Year. Her seventh recording, Force of Nature (MCG Jazz), released in January 2022, reached number five on the JazzWeek nationwide radio chart and remained in the top ten most played albums on jazz radio for more than ten weeks.
