As we enter into the 50th year of @dukeellingtondc, we are reminded of the excellence that Ellington produces. This upcoming year will be filled with exciting events and celebrations and with that excitement we are honored to share that a daughter of Ellington @officialmeshell returns to kick off our 50th with a powerful commencement address for our graduating class of 2024. Let the commencement exercises and 50th celebration begin!
