The Music of Shirley Horn ft. Kelley Suttenfield

An intimate celebration of Shirley Horn’s timeless repertoire

Acclaimed jazz vocalist Kelley Suttenfield presents a personal exploration of the music made famous by the legendary Shirley Horn, honouring the intimacy, lyricism and emotional depth that defined her artistry.

Shirley Horn’s music invites listeners into a world of quiet intensity, where space, phrasing and feeling carry as much weight as the melody itself. Rather than recreating Horn’s iconic performances, Kelley brings her own distinctive voice to these enduring songs, allowing their beauty and storytelling to unfold with warmth and emotional honesty.

Joined by an exceptional ensemble, Kelley explores the subtle interplay between voice and instrumentation at the heart of Horn’s music. This promises to be an elegant evening of refined jazz, heartfelt interpretation and timeless songs from one of the genre’s most celebrated artists.
