“If Louis Armstrong and Doris Day could somehow be the same person, they’d be Bria Skonberg” - The Wall Street Journal
Versatile & Fiery trumpet and vocals
Experience the "shining hope of hot jazz" as Juno Award-winning trumpeter and vocalist Bria Skonberg takes the stage. Hailed by The New York Times for her "clarion trumpet style" and "smoky vocals," Skonberg seamlessly blends the spirit of New Orleans jazz with modern pop sensibilities and soulful originals. This high-energy performance, featuring her world-class ensemble, showcases the boundary-breaking artistry that has led her to collaborate with icons like Jon Batiste and U2. Whether she is reimagining standards or debuting tracks from her latest album, Brass, Skonberg’s charismatic storytelling and undeniable groove promise an unforgettable evening for jazz aficionados and newcomers alike.
This MJC appearance of Bach Trumpet Artist Bria Skonberg has been made possible in part through an Educational Grant from Bach Trumpets. Bria Skonberg performs exclusively on Bach Trumpets.
