For Mother's Day, the RJO will feature Nicolas Bearde as we present a compelling exploration of Al Jarreau's music featuring hits such as "We Got By," "We're in This Love Together," "Spain," and more.
Award-winning recording artist Nicolas Bearde is a singer-songwriter, actor, and educator whose career has spanned over 35 years. From his humble beginnings, Bearde has travelled many roads. His style is likened to Lou Rawls, Nat King Cole, and Bill Withers. He is known for his "velvet voice," wit, and engaging rapport that have drawn audiences into his live performances around the world.
As a solo artist, he headlines venues from San Francisco, Miami, Savannah, and New York to London and beyond. Last year, Bearde took the stage with the RJO, presenting "The Legends of Jazz," a musical journey that emerged from the cultural melting pot of early-20th-century New Orleans.
This is the third and final concert in the RJO's 2025-2026 Quintessence Music Series.
