Mary Wilson Of The Supremes Brings Lena Horne To Life

Coming to the Dolly Hand Cultural Arts Center on Tuesday, Jan. 6 is James Gavin’s Stormy Weather: The Music of Lena Horne. The show stars Mary Wilson of the Supremes singing the songs that made Lena Horne famous.

Stormy Weather is a multi-media concert featuring a narrator (James Gavin, author of the book, Stormy Weather), Mary Wilson, a trio of jazz musicians, and rare audio and video footage from Lena Horne’s life.

The show is a “living, breathing, biography,” combining story, song and visual images to give a defining portrait of an American icon. Thrilling arrangements include “Stormy Weather,” “Honeysuckle Rose,” “Yesterday When I Was Young” and many others.

The Dolly Hand Cultural Arts Center is located on Palm Beach State College’s Belle Glade Campus at 1977 College Drive in Belle Glade.
