INTERNATIONALLY acclaimed and Grammy-nominated vocalist Stacey Kent returns to the Theatre Royal Winchester as part of a very limited tour of the UK on Wednesday.

The evening will feature music from her latest album Tenderly, an album of standards and jazz-classics with tracks such as The Very Thought of You, Tangerine, In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning and Embraceable You.

Tenderly is Stacey’s first album of jazz-classics since the release of her breakthrough album in 2003, The Boy Next Door. The intervening years have seen Kent broaden her repertoire to include originals written specially for her by Booker Prize winning novelist, Kazuo Ishiguro and Jim Tomlinson. Her platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated Breakfast On The Morning Tram, was described in Jazz Times as a "marvellously inventive launching pad for this bold, brave new Kent”. This was followed by Raconte-Moi, Kent’s first live album Dreamer in Concert, and The Changing Lights.

Stacey’s international touring schedule keeps her on the road for most of the year. This return to Theatre Royal Winchester provides a rare opportunity for UK fans to see her live in concert.
