Professional Jazz Pianist and Kinston Native Le’Andra McPhatter Returns to the Library this Thursday

In celebration of Black History month, the Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library is proud to present a performance by the talented and accomplished jazz pianist Le’Andra McPhatter this Thursday, February 19 at 6:30 p.m. 

A Kinston native, Le'Andra McPhatter is a thought-provoking artist, educator, author, influencer and speaker who prides herself in taking her listeners on a musical journey that leaves audiences feeling as warm and full as her North Carolina roots. LeAndra's start came from her musical family - learning tidbits of piano at 3 from her mom and dad, and performing for the first time in a local church by the age of 5. 

Le'Andra has experience playing with many highly-acclaimed artists, who have toured internationally and were nominated for prestigious awards. These include Doobie Powell, Frank McComb, Dave Santoro, Shana Tucker, Branford Marsalis, Kierra Sheard, Lisa Simone (Nina Simone's daughter), and many more. Come join us in the Schechter Auditorium to hear her perform both beloved classics and original jazz compositions.
