Charleston Currents – Dunning, CJO to bring holiday swing to Charleston Music Hall

Vocalist Zandrina Dunning will join the Charleston Jazz Orchestra (CJO) led by Maestro Robert Lewis for two Dec. 4 concerts guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit. It’s a Charleston Jazz tradition with big band arrangements of winter classics and holiday favorites such as “Winter Wonderland,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Sleigh Bells.”

Dunning, who began singing as a youth in church and elementary school, began her professional musical journey studying classical music and theatre arts at S.C. State University in 2000. She received her bachelor’s degree in music industry with a concentration in vocal music in 2004. 

Since 2013, she has been managing her own career with a broad array of concerts and tribute shows.  She also works with show production for Forte Jazz Lounge and Charleston Music Hall and  in programming and management locally at OHM Radio.

Under the direction of Lewis, the CJO has been performing for audiences in the Lowcountry for more than12 years. It is comprised of 18 accomplished jazz musicians and is an entertaining and educational example of the rich history of jazz in Charleston.
