Laura Mvula

Laura Mvula opens the Summer at Snape season with an intimate acoustic evening at Snape Maltings Concert Hall in Suffolk, on Friday 31 July at 7.30 pm.

One of British music's most distinctive voices, Mvula weaves together R&B, jazz, classical, and pop into something that resists easy category. For this stripped-back performance she is joined by pianist Oli Rockberger, the combination turning the spotlight squarely on her voice and her songwriting craft.

• An intimate duo format, showcasing Mvula's range across soul, jazz, and classical-influenced material
