Amy Winehouse: A Celebration of Her Life and Music
National Youth Jazz Orchestra and Woolwich Works present NYJO’s 24-piece Jazz Orchestra celebrates Amy, featuring Winston Rollins, Olivia Murphy and Lucy-Ann DanielsNYJO alumna Amy Winehouse is without doubt one of the greatest musical talents to come out of the UK. Her unmistakable character, vocal dexterity and masterful songwriting made her a pop icon. Her tragic passing makes her one of the most sorely missed artists in recent memory.
Now, ten years on, her music still shines, undiminished, in all its defiant brilliance. This concert series celebrates Amy’s enduring legacy, reimagining hits and revisiting early works she sang with the 24-piece National Youth Jazz Orchestra as a promising 16-year-old singer, back in 2000.
NYJO aims to honour her life, and her work, with a performance that fans of big band jazz and Amy obsessives alike can both enjoy.
