Metropole Orkest & Kandace Springs conducted by Miho Hazama

Kandace Springs was born in Nashville and raised in a very musical family. She grew up listening to Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack & Norah Jones. Those musical heroes helped her to find her own sound and shaped her into to the artist she now is. Prince heard her cover of Sam Smith’s ‘Stay with me’ and invited her to perform with him at Paisley Park for the 30^th anniversary of ‘Purple Rain’. Shortly after that, she was mentored in the studio by Sam Smith and released her debut album ‘Soul Eyes’. It received excellent reviews, with the ‘Times’ of London enthusing, “Kandace Springs isn’t just a star. She’s an entire galaxy”. Since then, she has released more albums, duetted with Norah Jones, played at festivals such as North Sea Jazz Festival and Montery Jazz Festival and won the Deutcher Jazzpreis for Best Vocal Album.

Kandace will share the stage with Metropole Orkest and permanent guest conductor Miho Hazama. The Metropole Orkest, that play jazz, pop, world music and film scores, have shared the stage with legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Pat Metheny, Brian Eno, Herbie Hancock, The Basement Jaxx and Bono. The MO has also paricipated in productions by the new generation of stars, like Kovacs, Robert Glasper, Snarky Puppy, Jacob Collier, Gregory Porter, Cory Henry & Louis Cole. The orchestra has worked in four winning productions of the Grammy Awards, the most recent being the recording of ‘All Night Long’, by Jacob Collier.

This collaboration between Kandace, Miho and Metropole Orkest will be an unforgettable one. During the concert they will play music from ‘Soul Eyes’ and of course more recent work.
