Step into a smoky, sultry world where the line between truth and treachery blurs. Set against the shadowy backdrop of 1940s Los Angeles, NOIR unfolds a thrilling tale of a detective tracking a rare stolen ruby, a femme fatale who may know more than she sings, and a reporter who knows how to spell murder.

NOIR is an original concert experience that blurs the line between stage and screen, weaving together pulse-raising narration, thrilling live piano, and a siren's unforgettable voice.

Starring beloved musicians Suzanne Jensen Stewart and Katie Harman Ebner, and featuring iconic selections by Chopin, Debussy, Streisand, Puccini, Pink Martini, and more.
