KAREN EDWARDS
A distinctive voice of international jazz in Athens
Two Special Performances at THEATRE OF THE NO
Saturday 24 & Sunday 25 October
Karen Edwards, one of the distinctive voices of the international jazz scene, comes to Athens for two special performances at Theatre of the NO on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October. A jazz pianist, vocalist, composer, arranger, orchestrator and educator, she has built an international career through collaborations with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Prince and Tony Bennett.
Her work brings together the freedom of improvisation, the expressive power of gospel and the richness of symphonic orchestration, while her live performances are known for their energy, spontaneity and powerful stage presence.
On stage, Edwards will be joined by Gilad Atzmon on saxophone, Yaron Stavi on double bass and Panagiotis Themas on drums, presenting a programme rooted in jazz and improvisation, with space for interaction and musical dialogue between the four musicians.
Her professional career began in Los Angeles, following an invitation from Stevie Wonder, and has taken her to major venues and festivals across Europe and the United States. She has collaborated with Nigel Kennedy, Lee Konitz and Pharoah Sanders, while also working with leading orchestras including Bayerischer Rundfunk and the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra (NOSPR).
Her album Everything Ice was nominated for the Fryderyk Award for Jazz Recording of the Year, while her discography includes Winter Moments and Moods and Polish Songs. Her orchestral project My Affair with James Bond has been presented in major concert halls and featured on RAI Television in Italy. Her international work also includes the Disney Children’s Day music project and Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concert.
