Jazz and authentic music talent from Estonia - Kadri Voorand - concert tour in Lithuania

Kadri Voorand is an Estonian singer-songwriter whose unique blend of traditional music, folk, jazz, and improvisational pop and unique storytelling abilities make her one of the most authentic live performers in Europe's jazz scene today.

She has won nearly every award imaginable in Estonia, including four Estonian Music Awards, and collaborated with a range of internationally acclaimed musicians, including the renowned conductor and composer Kristjan Järvi and pop artists like NOËP.

Since 2020, she has been signed to one of Europe's most important jazz labels, ACT.

Kadri Voorand is a musical storyteller who likes to engage her listeners and make them a part of the performance, with Jazzwise describing her audiences "hanging on her every note". Her highly engaging, ritualistic and intimate live shows, often alongside bassist Mihkel Mälgand, transcend language barriers and have led her to stages from the EFG London Jazz Festival to Pori Jazz and the most important jazz festival in China, the Beijing Nine Gates Jazz Festival.

Award-winning Mihkel Mälgand is one of the most active bass players in Estonia. He has also collaborated with jazz stars like Kurt Elling, Nils Landgren, Dave Liebman etc. Mihkel Mälgand also appears as an arranger and occasional co-writer on the Voorand's latest album "In Duo with Mihkel Mälgand". Kadri Voorand's and Mihkel Mälgand's strong sense of each other's musical rhythm and improvisational moments result in a tight duo. The pop-like melodies are combined with virtuosic improvisations and skilled technique. They perform heartbreaking power ballads next to hip grooves, accompanied by a totally unique twist in the sound and unexpected, daring lyrics. They have played together many concerts both in Estonia and abroad at prestigious festivals.

This autumn Kadri Voorand duo for the first time will arrive to Lithuanian tour. The concerts will be performed on 27th - at Klaipeda concert hall, on 28th - at Kaunas Philharmonic hall, finally on October 29th at Saint Catharina church in Vilnius.
