Our popular Nordic Summer Jazz Series returns to Scandinavia House, with performances from some of Scandinavia’s most talented jazz musicians, composers, and singers in Victor Borge Hall!
On June 4, join us for a night of the past, present, and future as Swedish-Vietnamese vocalist Chi Westfelt takes the stage. Deeply influenced by blues and soul, her work draws from a wide harmonic language with an emphasis on form, melody, and vocal expression. She performs with Mike King (piano), Bar Filipowicz (bass), and Ofri Nehemya (drums).
Nordic Summer Jazz will continue with more performances; see all upcoming shows here.
