Samara Joy with Toronto Symphony Orchestra at Roy Thomson Hall

Grammy-winning vocalist Samara Joy makes her first appearance with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra at Roy Thomson Hall in an evening spotlighting her singular voice. Joy has been acclaimed as a masterful interpreter of jazz standards and a rightful heiress of the sound, technique, and charisma of jazz heroines including Sarah Vaughan, Betty Carter, Abbey Lincoln, and Carmen McRae. A native of the Bronx, she won the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition during her studies at SUNY Purchase, which introduced her to the larger jazz scene as a rising star.
