Cécile McLorin Salvant - "Oh Snap - Germany 2026"

In the organizer's words:

An old soul with futuristic ambitions and a voice so contemporary that it can transcend space and time - that's Cécile McLorin Salvant. Blessed with hymns of praise, top places at competitions and on critics' lists, Grammys and money-spinning prizes, the 36-year-old singer was regarded by Der Spiegel as the "heiress of Billie Holiday" and for the New York Times was simply "the best jazz singer of the last decade". Especially in concert, Cécile McLorin Salvant casts a spell over the audience - sometimes exuberant, the next moment sensually gentle. She shines on festival stages with her sensitive power band or barefoot, unamplified and a cappella in the Elbphilharmonie - always with that disarmingly honest mixture of suffering and feelings of happiness that characterizes Cécile McLorin Salvant. No one who experiences her live remains untouched.

With her top-class band, often with pianist Sullivan Fortner or percussionist Weedie Braimah at her side, she wins over audiences all over the world. When she performed at the Edinburgh Festival, one critic wrote: "This will be a short review. In fact, I'm tempted to write the word 'sensational' and leave it at that."
