The Maui Arts and Cultural Center is welcoming Jazz singer, composer, arranger and education advocate Nnenna Freelon this Thursday. The five-time Grammy nominated vocalist has shared the stage with Anita Baker, Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. But that’s apparently not enough for her: Freelon’s passion for music and education has also won her accolades like the YWCA of North Carolina’s 2011 inaugural Legend Award for outstanding artistry and dedication to education and the 2010 Woman of Substance Award by Bennett College for Women. Whether she’s headlining a performance at the White House or a television soundtrack, Freelon is someone to see. $12-$42. 7:30pm. Maui Arts and Cultural Center, Castle Theater (One Cameron Way, Kahului); 808-242-7469, mauiarts.org
