Zoe Rahman, spellbinding pianist and visionary composer, launches her new album Colour of Sound featuring an all-star jazz octet.

Zoe Rahman’s style is deeply rooted in jazz yet it reflects her classical background, British/Bengali heritage and her very broad musical tastes. Known for her powerful technique, wide-ranging imagination and exuberant performance, she has become a highly sought-after musician on the international jazz scene.  A MOBO Award winner, Mercury Prize nominee and Ivor Novello Impact Award winner, Zoe is a unique presence in the British music industry.

The performance will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval.

“Her sound is drenched with originality and a jazz legitimacy that recognises her pedigree as a world class artist, composer and performer… Zoe shines as one of Britain’s most powerful compositional voices and important contemporary artists who puts a spotlight on jazz from the UK as an international musical force.” Ivors Academy
