For over 50 years, the Danish Radio Big Band has been a driving force in Copenhagen’s thriving jazz scene, earning its reputation as one of the world’s most dynamic and innovative ensembles.
Now led by Grammy-nominated composer Miho Hazama, one of the most promising and talented young composers and arrangers of her generation, the Danish Radio Big Band brings its powerhouse sound to the stage alongside Cécile McLorin Salvant — a three-time Grammy-winning jazz vocalist, composer, and fearless storyteller. Salvant, known for her electrifying interpretations and genre-defying artistry, returns to the center after her unforgettable 2023 debut.
This performance is supported in part by a gift from Catherine Karp Breske.
This is the first performance at the center for Danish Radio Big Band and Hazama. Salvant first performed at the center in 2023.
This performance will last approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.*
