KATONAH, NY – Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts, a vibrant cultural destination nestled on 81 acres of historic gardens and woodlands in Katonah, NY, continues its intimate Rosen House Concert Series with a performance by the Christie Dashiell Quartet, led by one of jazz’s most captivating voices, GRAMMY®-nominated vocalist and composer Christie Dashiell, on Friday, November 7, 2025 at 7:30pm. Caramoor, once the estate of music and art lovers Walter and Lucie Rosen, is one of the region’s most distinctive destinations for live performance, cultural engagement, and exploration. Caramoor’s Rosen House Concert Series runs from October through May, held in the exquisite Music Room of the historic home – a Mediterranean-style villa from 1939 filled with treasures from around the world. Audiences enjoy performances by some of today’s most in-demand artists in the same living room salon setting where the Rosens once entertained their many friends.
Christie Dashiell returns to Caramoor with her quartet (pianist Allyn Johnson, bassist Romeir Mendez Mendez, drummer Carroll (C.V.) Dashiell) after an impressive performance as part of the 2024 Jazz Festival. With her soulful sound and remarkable technical skill, she weaves stories that touch the heart and lift the spirit. Washington, DC-born and North Carolina-raised, Dashiell lives at the musical crossroads of jazz, rhythm and blues, gospel and soul. Known for her improvisational prowess and effortlessly rich and clear tone, she has become one of the most sought-after artists on the scene today.
Dashiell’s album Journey in Black was nominated for a GRAMMY® in the Best Jazz Vocal Album category and earned a coveted five-star review from DownBeat. Journey in Black showcases her ability to explore profound themes of freedom, legacy, and joy through her music, and boasts a stellar cast of musicians, including Shedrick Mitchell, Marquis Hill, Allyn Johnson, Romeir Mendez, and Carroll Dashiell III with creative guidance from NEA Jazz Master Dianne Reeves.
Dashiell appeared on season three of NBC’s The Sing-Off as a member of Afro Blue, and she has performed in concert with Esperanza Spalding, Fred Hammond, Smokey Robinson, Geri Allen, Allan Harris, and more. Her latest album, with Terri Lyne Carrington, is We Insist 2025!, a bold reimagining of the seminal 1961 album We Insist! Max Roach’s Freedom Now Suite.
Growing up in a musical family, Dashiell has been singing all of her life. She is the third of four multi-talented and musical children of jazz bassist, Carroll Dashiell, Jr. Her musical lineage is deeply rooted. She honed her skills at Howard University and at the Manhattan School of Music. In addition to performing with her quartet, she works with many artists including GRAMMY-nominated vocal ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock. She has appeared as a featured artist on Blue Note Record’s Supreme Sonacy, Marquis Hill’s The Way We Play, Wynton Marsalis’ work The Ever Fonky Lowdown and the social-justice compilation album Black Lives: From Generation to Generation. Dashiell tours internationally, performing on some of the world’s most prestigious stages including Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Baku Jazz Festival in Azerbaijan, and Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Tokyo. She is on the faculty at Temple University, Howard University, and The University of the District of Columbia.
This performance is presented in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center. The concert is underwritten in part by a generous donation from Amy & John Peckham and the Peckham Family Foundation.
