Samara Joy live in Vienne

Experience Samara Joy live on June 27th

Samara Joy is a contemporary jazz vocalist gaining prominence for her interpretations of classic jazz standards and explorations within the Great American Songbook. Her style is rooted in traditional jazz vocal techniques, reminiscent of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, but incorporates a modern sensibility and nuanced phrasing. She won the 2023 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album for *Linger Awhile*, demonstrating growing critical acclaim.

The concert will take place at the Théâtre Antique De Vienne in Vienne, France on June 27, 2026. This venue is a remarkably preserved Roman theatre dating back to the 1st century AD. Originally built during the reign of Emperor Augustus, it was one of the largest theatres in Gaul, capable of seating approximately 13,000 spectators.

Following periods of disuse and partial destruction, significant restoration efforts began in the 19th century, revealing much of its original structure. Today, it’s a functioning performance space primarily used during the annual *Jazz à Vienne* festival, though it also hosts other musical and theatrical events. Its acoustics are considered excellent due to its design and stone construction. The setting offers a unique historical backdrop for performances.
