August 5, 2018 attended pianist Lara Downes performance at Los Angeles
County Museum of Arts-Sundays Live 2018-in support of her Sony Music
debut album FOR LENNY in celebration of Lenny Bernstein 100th
anniversary. The tribute included intimate stories explaining how or why
the program pieces were selected for the tribute. The program included "BIG STUFF"
from Fancy Free (ballet). Lenny actually wrote the song with Billie
Holiday in mind. Although not on the original Fancy Free recording,
Billie later recorded the song several times. The August 5, 2018 concert
was broadcast live and available for download via KUSC radio.
On March 7, 2015, MusicUNTOLD presented But Beautiful - A Pianist Remembers Billie Holiday by Lara Downes in celebration of Billie Holiday 100th anniversary at the Long Beach Public Library-Main Auditorium.
