New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Management Agency) Dawn Holt Lauber was hailed as ÒexquisiteÓ by Howard Reich of The Chicago Tribune for the world premiere performance of William RussoÕs Jubilatem with the Chicago Jazz Ensemble. Lauber also performed with the CJE in RussoÕs Chicago Suite 2 and Duke EllingtonÕs Sacred Concerts.
The soprano first performed EllingtonÕs Sacred Concerts at The Riverside Church of New York City, which ignited an interest in jazz, both secular and what has come to be known as sacred jazz, or even church jazz. LauberÕs recent recording, ÒEverlastingÓ (spirituals & hymns with jazz band) is featured on the jazz playlist of Sounds of Gospel Network radio. The CD is now available on iTunes and other digital outlets.
She performs regularly with the Chicago band, Churchjazz. Their collaborations include worship services, concerts, tours, recordings, premiere of The Jazz Passion, and numerous benefits for World Vision, World Bicycle Relief, Jimmy Carter Foundation, and the Student Global AIDS Campaign, among others.
