The exquisite vocalist performs live at the Puerto Tomás Maestre in La Manga del Mar Menor

The Financial Times has described the voice of American jazz, gospel and blues singer Carole Alston as “sweet and dark as cane honey” and she has had a long and successful career in the fields of both jazz and musical theatre. In her resumé are shows such as “Jesus Christ Superstar”, “Kiss Me Kate”, “West Side Story” and “Trouble in Tahiti”, both under the direction of the legendary Leonard Berstein, who greatly admired Carole Alston.

Equally historic was her performance as a guest of the legendary Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra alongside José Carreras, and her full command of the jazz language and gospel and blues, accompanied by a quartet of extraordinary jazz musicians, guarantees a free concert in La Manga that raises the highest expectations.
