NYJO alumna Amy Winehouse is undoubtedly one of the greatest musical talents to come out of the UK. Her unmistakable character, vocal dexterity and masterful songwriting made her a pop icon. Her tragic passing makes her one of the most sorely missed artists in recent memory. Now, ten years on, her music still shines, undiminished, in all its defiant brilliance. This concert series celebrates Amy’s enduring legacy, reimagining hits and revisiting early works she sang with the 24-piece National Youth Jazz Orchestra as a promising 16-year-old singer, back in 2000. We aim to honour her life, and her work, with a performance that fans of big band jazz, and Amy obsessives will enjoy together, as one.
The performance will take place at the Jennifer Blackwell stage at Symphony Hall, in partnership with B:MUSIC, a Birmingham-based music charity with a mission to inspire a love of live music, through performance, participation and learning.
With the tour coming to an end, this will be the last chance to see this special tour. Read more.
