Auditorio de Tenerife, in line with its interest in jazz, presents a concert by Ken Norris Quartet. The famous US singer is coming with pianist Bela Meinberg, double bass Jasper Somsen, and drummer Janus Templeton to perform some of the best-known songs of his varied repertoire. The show takes place at 8:00 pm on Friday, 31 May at Sala de Cámara.

Ken Norris, who is one of the best US jazz singers at present, has enough experience, technique and knowledge to be up to interpreting the music of the great John Coltrane, but also the most beautiful melodies and jazz classics.

Ken Norris was born in Ohio to a family of musicians. He studied architecture at Yale University and then music at the American School of Modern Music, in Paris, showing a predilection for jazz, pop and gospel.

He made his debut in the European music scene in France with his work Modern Folklore - Music for Percussion & Vocals, which was first played live at the Festival Printemps de Bourges in 1996.

Some years later due to his participation in the musical The Lion King, he moved to Hamburg and became a much sought-after soloist in the jazz scene. Ken Norris has been a teacher at the Hamburg School of Music since 2010.

Tickets are available at Auditorio de Tenerife box office from 10:00 am to 7:30 pm Monday to Saturday, except holidays; on the website  www.auditoriodetenerife.com  or calling 902 317 327.
