Sally Martin sings cabaret at LilFest House Concerts

LilFest presents Sally Martin

Friday, December 5, 2008

6:30 Doors and Holiday Pot Luck supper starts, 7:30 Concert.

Singer and actress Sally Martin is a favorite of audiences and critics alike for her vocal range and multilingual interpretive skills in concert, cabaret and musical theatre. The Washington Post hailed her first CD as "extraordinary" and called her "wonderfully controlled singing both dreamy and wise." She has performed in wide-ranging venues including Washington's Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Baltimore's Everyman Theatre, Arlington's Signature Theatre, and New York's Dramatists Guild and Federal Hall. Her eclectic interpretive abilities in French and German have drawn comparison to Edith Piaf and Lotte Lenya. She released her second album, "Another Time, Another Place" in September 2007 with a concert at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The recording was nominated for a Wammie award as jazz recording of 2007 by the Washington Area Music Association and was praised by writer and lyricist Judith Viorst for its "dazzling array of choices." A Chicago native and New Trier alumna, she studied voice at Stanford University and later with the well-known lieder singer Ilse Wolf of London's Royal Academy of Music.
