Concert: Samara Joy

Born and raised in the Bronx, rising star Samara Joy’s velvety, smooth voice puts her own enchanting interpretation on jazz standards from the Great American Songbook. After winning the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition at the age of 19, she released her debut album Samara Joy. As one of America’s most promising young vocalists, she has already performed in many of the great jazz venues in New York, including Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, The Blue Note and the Apollo as well as at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. On her latest release, Linger Awhile, 22-year-old Samara Joy makes her case to join the likes of Sarah, Ella and Billie as the next jazz singing sensation recorded by the venerable Verve Records.

The concert begins at 2PM and lasts approximately one hour without intermission. Ages 8 and older welcome with an adult.
