Jazz Prodigy Grace Kelly Performs at Festival of Arts Saturday, August 6, 2016 from 1 – 2:30pm

Date:

The popular Concerts on the Green music series, presented by Cambria Estate Vineyard and Winery, continues at the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts on Saturday, August 6 from 1 – 2:30pm with saxophonist Grace Kelly from TV’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Grace Kelly is a saxophonist, singer, songwriter, composer and arranger from Brookline, Massachusetts. Having studied saxophone since the age of ten, she is rapidly making her way up in the jazz music world.

The seven-time winner of the Downbeat critics poll recorded her first album, Dreaming when she was twelve. At fourteen, she ​received the first of her ASCAP Foundation awards for her composition “Every Road I Walked” and was invited to perform with the Boston Pops. Among Kelly’s critically acclaimed releases are collaborations with jazz legends Lee Konitz on GRACEfulLEE and Phil Woods on The Man With the Hat.

A graduate from the Berklee College of Music in 2011 with a degree in professional music, Kelly has taught residency workshops there since 2012. In December 2015, she was invited by Jon Batiste as a regular on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s band, Stay Human, playing multiple reeds and singing. Kelly ​has recently completed her eighth studio album, Trying To Figure It Out, which expands on her longstanding interest in genre bending while maintaining a jazz foundation.
“Grace Kelly is one of today’s top emerging young musicians,” said Susan Davis, director of special events for the Festival of Arts. “At only 24, she plays with the talent, sophistication and charisma of a seasoned performer.”
Grace Kelly will perform on Saturday, August 6 from 1 – 2:30pm on stage at the Festival green. Concerts on the Green are free with Festival of Arts Admission. Limited seating available in reserved section for $25 per person per concert. Includes Festival admission. Call (800) 487-3378.
