Celebrate music from London's jazz age with vocalist Melinda Whittington and pianist Ethan Uslan. Enjoy dazzling operatic selections worthy of the Royal Opera House, as well as jazz numbers from London's cabarets. Melinda Whittington, who played the role of Micaela in Wolf Trap Opera's 2014 production of Carmen, is a rare soprano who interprets opera, jazz, and musical theater with equal virtuosity and aplomb. Pianist Ethan Uslan has appeared on NPR's A Prairie Home Companion, stars in a viral video of "Fur Elise in Ragtime" and is the reigning World Champion of Old-Time Piano Playing (yes, there really is a competition for that!). So sit back and let the Uslan/Whittington Duo's refined artistry transport you to the parlors and dance floors of Highclere Castle.

"Melinda Whittington is the very embodiment of singing refinement and power" --Classical Voice of North Carolina

"If you listen to this guy's recordings, it's something different. It's just got a snap to it, played like they ought to." --Garrison Keillor, introducing Ethan Uslan on A Prairie Home Companion
