Visions Vol.1 by Sofijazz

"Recognized as one of jazz's pre-eminent vocalists, young Sofija Knezevic is making her name as one of the most significant singers in jazz today. While her singing is steeped in tradition, her improvisational virtuosity and creativity are breathtaking.” - New York Times

WWA is thrilled to be bringing the talents of Sofija and her group to our audience. The show is perfect for lovers of jazz and vocal music, ages 15 to 99!

Sofija’s plan for the show: “I will be promoting my new record, and this concert will be a part of the tour supported by the South Arts Organization. The concert will consist of an eclectic blend of music, personal storytelling, creative arrangements of jazz, world and Brazilian music.”

There will be a meet and greet where Sofija will also do the album signing after the show, and we are also hoping to elevate the experience by creating some music between the audience and the band, working together to connect through sound.
