"Sounds of Music" Concert Series: Kathy Kosins

More information on this concert series is on our "Sounds of Music" Concert Series page.

The Chicago Tribune has called Kathy Kosins, ". . .one of the most alluring voices in jazz" and we are honored to have her perform for "The Sounds of Music" House Concert Series. An ASCAP award-winning vocalist, Kathy Kosins has won the hearts of critics and fans around the globe with her eclectic musical palette that expands the rich history of jazz. Born and bred during the Motown era of Detroit, she began singing and arranging background vocals for producer Don Was in the early eighties, which led to her becoming one of the most sought after session singers. As a lead vocalist she recorded for both Carrere (Sony) and Quality Records and later toured with Was/Not Was. In the early '90s, Kosins', a ferocious writer and arranger, fell in love with the freedom of the jazz art form and her writing naturally evolved into a more traditional approach. She has performed with numerous names in the jazz and R&B; world including Cyrus Chestnut, Grant Green Jr., Mitch Ryder, and Michael Henderson. She has a busy touring schedule, with many performance dates nationally and abroad. Kathy is also an accomplished painter, with many of her works hanging in prestigious galleries. She also is known to paint as a multi media artist from the stage during various performances and plans to do this at the "Sounds of Music" performance! Please join us for a unique fall concert, which includes food and drink.
