Step into an evening of timeless jazz elegance and vocal brilliance with Emma Smith and her quartet. Celebrated for her voice of rare clarity and emotive power, Emma brings her newly released, critically acclaimed album Bitter Orange into the spotlight.  

Emma has rapidly become one of the most talked-about voices in jazz. With performances from the Royal Albert Hall to the world’s top jazz clubs, she has collaborated with major artists including Michael Bublé, The Quincy Jones Orchestra, Jeff Goldblum, and the Jeremy Pelt / Wayne Escoffery Quintet. Her expressive, magnetic stage presence continues to earn her a loyal international following. 

Emma’s accolades include a four-year stint as a BBC Radio 3 broadcaster, regular performances with Ronnie Scott’s All Stars, and a triumphant tour with American supergroup Postmodern Jukebox.  She was named Jazz Act of the Year at the 2024 Jools Holland Boisdale Music Awards, and is one of only two singers ever to receive the prestigious Worshipful Company of Musicians Medal. 

With her rich, expressive vocals and poetic phrasing, Emma delivers a set for Celebrate Voice that radiates heart, warmth and full of musical storytelling.
