The Shedd Institute, Eugene, OR
Vanessa Greenway celebrates the iconic Lena Horne, a singer, dancer, actress, and civil rights activist whose career spanned more than seventy years, appearing in such musical films as Stormy Weather and Cabin in the Sky, and lit up Broadway in Calypso, Jamaica, and the Tony and Grammy Award-winning Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music. Her powerful voice and charismatic performing style made her performances of favorites such as "Stormy Weather", "Someone To Watch Over Me", "Come On Strong" and "The Rules Of The Road" unforgettable.
