ABOUT THE SHOW
Acclaimed jazz singer-songwriter Allegra Levy brings her joyful family program, “Songs for You and Me,” to the Stoner Theater. Her first album created especially for young audiences introduces children and adults to jazz through playful, swinging songs about everything from bedtime and bath time to boogers and boo-boos. Families will even learn how to say “hello” in 12 different languages, all performed with Allegra and her all-star New York City big band.
A Kips Bay resident and mother of two, Allegra has released five albums on the historic SteepleChase record label, home to legendary jazz artists including Shirley Horn and Dexter Gordon. Most recently, she won Mayor Mamdani’s widely publicized NYC 2-K Jingle Contest. More than 300 New Yorkers submitted entries promoting the city’s new 2-K program, which provides free childcare for 2-year-olds beginning this fall. Rapper Cardi B and Lin-Manuel Miranda selected five finalists, and the public voted Allegra’s entry the winner.
A graduate of the New England Conservatory, Allegra serves as Program Administration Manager at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and is on the leadership team of the Women in Jazz Organization.
“Allegra Levy sounds like a female version of Mr. Rogers on this cozy album of cozy songs for tykes. Completely charming, life-affirming, and inviting. Won’t you be her neighbor?”
