An Afternoon with Rachel Levitin

An Afternoon with Rachel Levitin is an interactive, conversational live music matinee curated and performed by singer-songwriter and executive producer Rachel Levitin. Award-winning vocalist Jarreau Williams hosts and guides the afternoon, creating a relaxed setting for music, conversation, and reflection.

The milestone concert celebrates Levitin’s career, including her decades as a music student and songwriter, her debut album “Come As You Are,” the fan-favorite “Get Back Up,” and her 2024 album “Witty Banter.” The program culminates in the world premiere of “Eulogy,” a song Levitin wrote, recorded, and will perform in memory of her grandfather, Edwin H. Levitin, who died in February 2026. The listed lineup also includes Griefcat.

Levitin grew up in Chicago and was influenced by jazz, early-2000s radio, and expressive songwriting. After moving to Washington, DC, in 2005, she became known as a confident performer and an active supporter of the local music community. Her releases include the 2015 debut EP “Nearly Broken,” the 2021 single “Off My Mind,” and a debut LP that she self-produced with DC collaborators and released on March 21, 2024. Her music combines pop-rock energy with emotionally candid lyrics shaped by grief, optimism, and personal growth. During the 2020 live-music shutdown, she also turned her attention to production and advocacy around gender inequity in the music industry.
