Please join the Woman’s National Democratic Club and friends for a festive holiday concert, featuring songs from last year's Henry Mancini Centennial celebration at the Hollywood Bowl! Mancini, who won 20 Grammy Awards and four Academy Awards, composed American standards such as “Moon River” and “The Pink Panther” and scored over 125 movies and television programs, including Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Days of Wine and Roses, Victor/Victoria, Charade, and Two for the Road. Kick back with a cocktail for a memorable evening of beautiful music.

This year’s holiday concert will feature Steve Washington and friends.
Washington has been performing since the early 1980s, most recently throughout the DC area, and delighted a WNDC audience last December with his Salute to Disney's Centennial. In 2019, he was a featured vocalist with the renowned Smithsonian Masterworks Jazz Orchestra for a tribute to the music of Nat “King” Cole. He later performed for Westminster Jazz’s concert honoring the legacy of Billy Eckstine (“Mr. B”). In 2022, Washington opened the Wilmington Jazz Festival. Over the past few years, he has been a featured vocalist at the Barns at Wolf Trap, the Birchmere, the Hamilton, the Bethesda Theater, the Arts Club of Washington, and Mr. Henry’s on Capitol Hill.

Also appearing: Andre Leonard, Steinway Artist and Featured Conductor with UKF: The Home of Bass Music 

Leonard is a dynamic and accomplished pianist, conductor, and music director, with a diverse range of experiences that speak to his passion for music and dedication to his craft. In 2022, he was honored with the Gold Medal from the Boston International Piano Competition, adding to his Gold Medal from the 2017 Aloha International Piano Competition, cementing his reputation as one of the foremost pianists of his generation.
