About This Event
MoCA\CT Presents: Kate Kortum
Jazz · Saturday, May 8, 2027 · 7:00 PM
One of the finest jazz voices of her generation.
Kate Kortum is one of the most acclaimed young vocalists in jazz today. At just 24, she has already performed with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra alongside Wynton Marsalis and won the 2025 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition — jazz’s most prestigious vocal prize. MoCA\CT’s galleries are the ideal place to hear her: an intimate room where Kortum’s warm, story-driven phrasing and easy swing land with the immediacy of a great late-night set.
A Juilliard graduate who has also sung at the Newport Jazz Festival and Birdland, Kortum blends bebop agility, blues feeling, and theatrical flair into something entirely her own. With her standout band she performs music from her acclaimed debut Good Woman and her bold 2025 release Wild Woman, reclaiming and reimagining the Great American Songbook through a distinctly modern, female lens.
