Camille Metoyer Moten, one of Nebraska’s leading jazz singers, will be the featured performer at the February 3 First Friday Jazz concert at First Lutheran Church. Many of her songs will be a special salute to Valentine’s Day with special love songs. She will be joined by pianist and composer David P. Murphy on piano and Mark Haar on bass.
Camille has been singing and acting in Omaha and the surrounding area for over 30 years. Her early interest in jazz was crafted at Xavier University in New Orleans where she also studied classical singing. Musical theatre has been an additional focus where performance credits include leading roles in Ragtime, Evita, Funny Girl and many others.
David P. Murphy, in addition to being a talented pianist, is a composer and author. Some of his jazz compositions will be included in the program. Mark Haar is an active freelance bassist in the Omaha area. In addition to playing with small and large jazz groups, he also plays with the Lincoln Symphony.
The concert will be held in First Lutheran’s Activity Center, 1551 South 70th Street, in Lincoln from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. There is no admission charge, but audience members are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for the Lincoln Lutheran Food Pantry. Lunch will be available for purchase.
