Jazz&: Emma Rawicz Quartett - CHROMA Spielboden, 26 Mar 25

"An astonishing new talent" (Jamie Cullum), “a name on everyone’s lips right now” (BBC 3), a fast-rising star (Lon-don Jazz) and "a force to be reckoned with" (Jazzwise).

At the age of just twenty-one Emma Rawicz has already sown many of the important seeds for a major career, despite still being a student in the jazz department of London's Royal Academy of Music. Indeed, she already can be considered a part of the wave of Young British Jazz which has been making its mark worldwide. The North Devon-born saxophonist, whose Polish surname comes from her Warsaw-born grandfather, who settled in the UK during World War 2, has already led her band for appearances at festivals in Istanbul, Eilat in Israel, and Strasbourg. She has also single-handedly negotiated and managed a seven-teen-concert UK tour for her quintet. She has headlined at Ronnie Scott’s, won the award for Newcomer of the Year at the 2022 Parliamentary Jazz Awards. Emma Rawicz has a Jazz FM Awards nomination to her name, as well as being a finalist in the BBC Young Jazz Musician competition. “Chroma”, her ACT debut, marks a new and important step.
