Stacey Kent

On July 1, 2026, Stacey Kent brings her intimate, clear-voiced jazz to Théâtre Maisonneuve in Montréal. Over the course of some fifteen albums and tours to more than fifty-five countries, the American singer has forged a repertoire that moves between the Great American Songbook, French chanson and Brazilian music. In France, Breakfast on the Morning Tram made an impression in 2007, followed by Raconte‑moi in 2010, which became the second best‑selling francophone album worldwide. On stage she favors nuance and storytelling, reimagining standards alongside originals born of her long collaboration with composer–saxophonist Jim Tomlinson and lyricists including Kazuo Ishiguro. Arriving as she unveils A Time for Love, her new album due spring 2026 on Naïve, this concert promises a set that threads familiar favorites with fresh material, slipping effortlessly between English and French and into the sway of Brazilian rhythms—the ease that defines her live performances.
