Kurt Elling brings his extraordinary voice and inventive spirit to the holiday season with The Beautiful Day: Kurt Elling Sings Christmas, a deeply personal celebration of the music and meaning of Christmas.
A two-time GRAMMY Award winner and 17-time nominee, Elling is celebrated as one of the world’s foremost jazz vocalists, known for his commanding stage presence, remarkable musicianship, and poetic approach to song. With a 14-year run atop the DownBeat Critics Poll and a recent Broadway debut as Hermes in the Tony Award-winning Hadestown, his artistry continues to reach new heights.
The Beautiful Day offers a fresh perspective on the sounds of the season, blending traditional carols with inventive arrangements, unexpected selections, and rediscovered treasures. Warm, soulful, and full of surprises, the performance explores universal themes of hope, light, wonder, mystery, and goodwill.
