Helena Kay reflects on the significance of performing with Zoe Rahman, reminiscing about their first encounter as mentors in her teenage years. "It was so inspiring for me to meet Zoe at that stage in my musical life. The sixteen-year-old me wouldn't believe that we're sharing the stage now."
The Jazz Thursdays series, curated by Kay, offers a meaningful platform for emerging talent in a venue steeped in jazz history. "The Jazz Thursdays series is a fantastic opportunity to work in a venue that is so rich in jazz history."
Kay's appreciation for the Queen's Hall as a performance venue is evident as she acknowledges the legacy of jazz legends who have graced the same stage. "The brilliant composer and pianist Carla Bley and saxophone legend Sonny Rollins are just two of the people I admire who have appeared there."
Looking ahead, Kay is excited about selecting other inspirational musicians for the Jazz Thursdays series, fostering a connection to her musical heroes and their influences.
