Stacey Kent Set for Melbourne Recital Centre, 28 April

Radiant jazz singer Stacey Kent has been quietly gathering devotees around the world with her impeccable musicality and hypnotic voice. Stacey's powerful instrument rarely rises above an intimate murmur. It's a sound that makes you lean in to hear what she's confiding, tinged with the mysterious quality of saudade, an expression for bittersweet pangs of nostalgia and heartache.

Stacey Kent has an elegant and understated way with a standard but her voice is delicately devastating in the songs written especially for her by her husband saxophonist / composer Jim Tomlinson and novelist-turned-lyricist kazoo Ishiguro.

In a Melbourne exclusive, Stacey performs originals and a collection of wistful bossa nova classics featured on her latest acclaimed album, The Changing Lights, a journey through a sad/romantic world of wanderlust and missed connections.

Her fluency in different languages and musical styles translates into a sophisticated stage presence that crosses boundaries and the musical and emotional chemistry between Stacey and Jim is palpable.

This is rare chance to be bewitched by a singular musician and her tight knit band in songs of love beautifully lost and found.
