Stamford - On Sunday, July 21 at 3PM, Friends of Music of Stamford, NY presents The Olivia Chindamo Trio, a Juilliard Jazz Ensemble. Singer Olivia Chindamo is passionate about jazz history, seamlessly fusing the old and the new with her modern sensibilities, impressive technique, and versatility. With a special love for improvisation, her skillful scat singing pays homage to the great songstresses of the 1950s, with a familiar repertoire from the Great American Songbook, some “B side” selections, and a few original songs.
Originally from Australia and now based in New York City, Olivia Chindamo is the Juilliard School’s first-ever Master’s Graduate of Jazz Voice. She has performed at many prestigious venues, including the Kennedy Center, Dizzy’s Club, Lincoln Center, and Birdland Jazz Club, as well as collaborated with various orchestras. Olivia Chindamo is joined by two fellow Juilliard Jazz alumni—jazz saxophonist Evan Harris and jazz guitarist David Rourke.
Under the leadership of director Wynton Marsalis, the Juilliard Jazz Department’s programming reflects the jazz continuum and its American vernacular roots, as well as the social and cultural vitality of the music. Juilliard Jazz ensembles play more than 50 on- and off-campus performances annually, including international tours, as well as performances at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center, and the Blue Note in New York City.
This event is generously hosted by the First Presbyterian Church at 96 Main Street, Stamford, NY. Admission is by donation at the door; the suggested donation is $15 per person, $10 for seniors & students. There is no charge for those under age 13.
