Leicester Jazz House Presents: The Emily Tran Quintet

Pianist and composer EMILY TRAN is one of the most exciting young jazz artists emerging from the London scene. Since joining the ever-growing community of Tomorrow’s Warriors, she has developed a versatile musical voice and has played in a range of ensembles in venues such as the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Ronnie Scott’s and the Barbican. 

She has arranged and played for the Nu Civilisation Orchestra and wrote the original score for BBC Radio 3's 'Gatsby in Harlem', which won 3 awards at the British Audio Awards, one being the prestigious Audio of The Year.

Alongside playing with other artists, her solo project, _THE EMILY TRAN QUINTET,_ is a sonic collage of influences , shedding light on her varied musical upbringing - from playing piano and organ in the Vietnamese Church as a child, to more recently studying classical composition at the Royal Academy of Music.

Her versatility has made her an in demand player and composer and has seen her play at Love Supreme Festival, Brick Lane Jazz Festival and We Out Here. The music is spirited, with a quiet intensity that makes the band one to watch out for!
