Cécile McLorin Salvant
Cécile McLorin Salvant returns to Molde after her magical performance at Kikkans Hall in 2022 – an evening described as “extraordinarily charismatic” and remembered as one of the festival’s true highlights
The audience was met by an artist who does more than just sing – she creates entire worlds with her voice: a storyteller blending vaudeville, blues, folk, theater, jazz, and baroque, with a rare gift for drama, humor, and unexpected turns.
With three consecutive Grammy Awards, a MacArthur Fellowship, and an ever-expanding artistic vision, Salvant has become one of the most sought-after vocalists in modern jazz. Her latest album, Oh Snap (2025), reveals a completely new side of her – playful, personal, and full of creative experimentation inspired by everything from ’90s pop to folk and classical music. Together with her regular musical companions, she crafts a soundscape that both surprises and strikes straight to the heart.
When Salvant takes the stage at Bjørnsonhuset on July 15, everything is in place for an evening that combines intense presence, raw musicianship, and the kind of artistic freedom that has made her one of the most talked-about voices of the year. This is a concert experience not to be missed – a chance to encounter an artist who continually redefines what jazz vocals can be.
