A new Charlotte holiday tradition begins. This holiday season, experience Duke Ellingtons groundbreaking reimagining of The Nutcracker Suite performed live at the historic Carolina Theatre. Blending the timeless melodies of Tchaikovsky with the unmistakable brilliance, swing, and sophistication of American jazz, Ellingtons celebrated suite comes to life through a powerhouse jazz orchestra led by The Blackhawk Quintet. TiMar Entertainment proudly presents the beginning of what we hope will become one of Charlottes signature holiday traditions.
