Dessa with Oregon Symphony

Dessa is a singer, rapper and writer, and this concert brings all three together. With the Oregon Symphony under Sarah Hicks, she performs ballads, literary pop songs and rap. Between songs come her new monologues, true stories told with intelligence, tenderness and wit. The concert is presented with Literary Arts and is for those who value words as much as music.
