Washington, D.C. standout Sharón Clark has brought festival and concert audiences to their feet across the U.S. and Europe.

She's a featured soloist with the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, the Richmond Symphony, and the Baltimore Symphony, and has headlined the Duke Ellington Jazz Festival, the Cape May Jazz Festival and the Savannah Music Festival.
