For her second season as a Resident Artistic Director, Brandee Younger presents an exciting new set of compositions accompanied by the 19-piece New Century Chamber Orchestra.
Carrying on and expanding the tradition of pioneering jazz harpists Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane, Brandee Younger made her public debut in 2007 as a grad student at NYU, when saxophonist Ravi Coltrane enlisted the then-23-year-old to participate in the memorial service for his mother Alice. A student of jazz great Jackie McLean, Younger has collaborated with artists from the worlds of jazz and hip hop, including Jack DeJohnette, Charlie Haden, Pharoah Sanders, Lauren Hill, and Common. In 2021 she released her Impulse! Records debut, Somewhere Else, which earned Younger a Best Instrumental Composition GRAMMY nomination for the track “Beautiful is Black.” Her 2023 Impulse! release, Brand New Life, honors Dorothy Ashby’s legacy through songs the late harpist wrote and/or performed.
