Strings of Genius: Brandee Younger Brings Harp Jazz to La Jolla

Head over to The JAI at The Conrad in La Jolla for an intimate, cabaret-style performance by jazz harp sensation Brandee Younger. As part of La Jolla Music Society’s annual SummerFest, this is a show you won’t want to miss!

Brandee Younger with La Jolla Music Society

A Trailblazing Talent

Brandee Younger, described by The New York Times as having “almost single-handedly made a persuasive argument for the harp’s role in contemporary jazz,” is set to dazzle with her trio.

With a 2021 GRAMMY nomination and accolades from the Financial Times as “the go-to harpist of her generation,” Younger has pushed boundaries for harpists over the past fifteen years.

In 2022, she made history as the first black woman to be nominated for a GRAMMY Award for Best Instrumental Composition and was also up for an NAACP Image Award that year.

Collaborations With Cultural Icons

Ever the trailblazer, Brandee Younger has collaborated with cultural icons such as Common, Lauryn Hill, Joh Legend, and Moses Sumney.

Her latest album, Brand New Life, is a testament to her innovation and homage to her musical foremother, Dorothy Ashby. The album is a blend of artistic, personal, political, and spiritual explorations, cementing the harp’s place in pop culture.

See you there!

At The JAI, patrons can enjoy small bites and drinks in a jazz club atmosphere, complete with a full bar and table service. This setting is perfect for immersing yourself in the rich, soulful sounds of Brandee Younger’s harp.

Tickets are available at the La Jolla Music Society box office, by phone at 858 459 3728, or online here.

Catch Brandee Younger’s performances on Thursday, August 8, and experience the magic live!

See you there, San Diego!
