Artists To Watch - Las Vegas

Tony Award–nominated performer Syndee Winters brings a powerful and deeply personal tribute to one of the most influential artists of the 20th century with Syndee Winters Sings Lena Horne, live at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas.

Presented inside the intimate Myron’s Cabaret Jazz, this performance is far more than a traditional jazz concert. Winters describes the show as a theatrical jazz experience, blending music, storytelling, and character work to explore the many facets of legendary entertainer Lena Horne—from trailblazing activist and Hollywood icon to vulnerable artist and cultural pioneer.

Featuring original musical arrangements from Winters’ acclaimed album Syndee Winters Sings Lena Horne, the show introduces audiences to multiple characters—all portrayed by Winters—each representing different stages, strengths, and contradictions of womanhood. Through these voices, the performance traces Lena Horne’s extraordinary career, her deep historical connection to Las Vegas, and her lasting influence on generations of performers.

Winters, whose Broadway credits include The Lion King and collaborations with artists such as Beyoncé, brings both technical brilliance and emotional depth to the stage. The result is a show that feels at once educational, celebratory, and deeply moving, appealing to jazz lovers, theater fans, and anyone interested in American cultural history.
