Ella Fitzgerald, celebrated jazz vocalist, is remembered for pivotal moments in her career including a 1955 arrest in Houston during a concert that highlighted racial tensions, a 1964 cover of a Beatles song, and a notable 1950s performance at the Tiffany Club with Marilyn Monroe. Her legacy continues through the annual free summer event, the Scène Ella Fitzgerald in Geneva, which marks its thirtieth anniversary with three weekly concerts.
