Behringer-Crawford Museum’s Music@BCM Concert Series Returns May 16 with Nicole Zuraitis


New York City’s Grammy-nominated vocalist, keyboardist and composer Nicole Zuraitis returns to Northern Kentucky as one of the talented performers who will fill Behringer-Crawford Museum with music in its annual Music@BCM concert series.

Zuraitis

Zuraitis, whose debut 2018 appearance here was captured on a CD, Live at the Two-Headed Calf, opens the series on Thursday, May 16, accompanied by Nonet, her husband Dan Pugach’s nine-piece ensemble.

In addition to her own original compositions and new arrangements, the classically trained musician also performs jazz, torch songs, R&B and classic favorites from Sade to Dolly Parton – including Parton’s soul stirring ballad, Jolene, which resulted in a Grammy nod for Zuraitis and Pugach.
