ETC Audience may remember Elijah for his acclaimed starring performance as Porgy in Porgy and Bess. He now returns with Memories Unleashed, a deeply personal concert celebrating the power of music, memory, and the timeless songs that connect us across generations.
Inspired by Elijah’s work in brain health and Alzheimer’s awareness as an Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health, Memories Unleashed explores the extraordinary ability of music to awaken memories, evoke emotion, and bring people together. What began as a personal mission has evolved into a nationally acclaimed concert experience that reminds audiences of the enduring power of America’s greatest songs.
Celebrated for his rich baritone and masterful interpretations of the Great American Songbook, jazz, blues, and classic American music, Elijah has become known for performances that honor the golden age of American song while captivating today’s audiences.
His latest album, Memories Unleashed – Impulse 1, spent seven consecutive weeks in the JazzWeek Top 40 and received national airplay on jazz radio stations throughout the United States. Jazz critic Scott Yanow praised Elijah’s “swinging style and large voice,” noting that it “recalls the great vocalists of the 1950s while remaining distinctly his own.”
This special evening will feature selections from Memories Unleashed – Impulse 1, including audience favorites such as “Route 66,” “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore,” “Unforgettable,” “Here’s to Life,” and “Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby?”, alongside beloved classics from the Great American Songbook. Blending heartfelt storytelling, world-class musicianship, and timeless artistry, Memories Unleashed is both a joyful celebration of American song and a moving tribute to the memories that shape our lives. Elijah’s return to Ensemble Theatre Company promises an unforgettable evening of music, nostalgia, and inspiration.
