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, with Griefcat also listed on the lineup.

The milestone program reflects Levitin’s long career in music, including 30 years as a music student, 27 years as a songwriter, 21 years since her debut album, 20 years living in Washington, DC, and 10 years since the release of “Get Back Up.” The event 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.

Levitin grew up in Chicago and was shaped by jazz, early-2000s radio, and the experiences of early adulthood. After moving to Washington in 2005, she became known as a performer and supporter of fellow local musicians. Her releases include the 2015 EP “Nearly Broken,” the 2021 single “Off My Mind,” and a self-produced debut LP released on her 37th birthday on March 21, 2024. During the pandemic, she expanded her work into music production and advocacy concerning gender inequity in the music industry. Her sound combines the energetic appeal of early-2000s pop-rock with emotionally candid songwriting.
