Rhonda Ross
The Strand Center for the Arts is pleased to announce that Rhonda Ross is coming to The Historic Strand Center Theatre. This performance will be held on Saturday December 12th at 7:00pm at the Strand Center Theatre located at 25 Brinkerhoff Street in Plattsburgh, NY
Some people know Rhonda Ross as the only child of singing legend, Diana Ross and Motown-Founder, Berry Gordy, but there is much more to Rhonda Ross. Rhonda is a singer, songwriter, actress, and an innovative parent, pioneering early language acquisition in children.
Rhonda’s music is African inspired as well as based on traditional jazz. In 1994, she met, married, and began a 20-year musical collaboration with jazz pianist and composer Rodney Kendrick. Through him, Rhonda commenced studying with the late jazz great Abbey Lincoln. “It was Abbey and Rodney who convinced me to begin my journey as a singer-songwriter.” Rhonda says, “I primarily consider myself a story-teller and poet. I use my music to inspire and to uplift. To teach people – including myself.” Their live CD, Rhonda Ross Live: Featuring Rodney Kendrick is a hot internet seller.
Rhonda headlined one of President Obama’s 2nd Inaugural Balls, and later performed to standing ovations and rave reviews at The Hollywood Bowl, The Montreal International Jazz Festival, Wolf Trap, and The Theater at Madison Square Garden. Rhonda’s live performance will thoroughly entertain you and move you to the point of tears – all while inspiring you to believe that you can do or be anything!
