MUSE/IQUE, under the direction of Artistic and Music Director Rachael Worby, is set to launch its 2025 season with “ACCORDING TO RAY: Ray Charles’s Message to America.” This tribute concert will take place from March 21 to 23, 2025, at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. The performances will feature acclaimed actor and singer Brandon Victor Dixon and the DC6 Singers Collective. Tickets are available at muse-ique.com.
