Stacey Kent and Alison Young Trio @ Koerner Hall

“Stacey Kent has practically done it all over the past twenty years, selling north of two million albums, putting her gorgeously delicate stamp on standards, introducing fresh tunes into the canon, racking up awards, and bringing her flawless voice to fans in more than fifty countries.” (All About Jazz) The American jazz singer is renowned for her ability to cut to the emotional heart of her songs with delicately nuanced interpretations that transcend borders and defy categorization. She will perform music from her latest release, Summer Me, Winter Me.

“Alison Young takes musical chances and has something to say.” (The WholeNote) The Juno Award nominated saxophonist, vocalist, and composer has toured across the world with acts such as Corey Hart, Joe Sealy, Big Rude Jake, Johnny Reid, and The Shuffle Demons, and was chosen as one of the ‘Best 35 Canadian Jazz Artists under 35’ by the CBC. “Alison Young is a rising star in Toronto and beyond. One of the most versatile musicians in Canada!” (JAZZ.FM91)
