Gabrielle Ducomble

The irresistible voice of Gabrielle Ducomble comes to Sherborne Abbey Festival. This Belgian-born jazz vocalist and composer is renowned for her pure, powerful and supremely elegant voice. Her Parisian jazz and tango arrangements present a fresh, contemporary take on iconic songs by the likes of Piaf, Piazzolla, Legrand and Brel and she has performed at many leading London venues and across the UK on tour to great acclaim. Her latest album, Across the Bridge, features 12 original songs in English and her native French, drawing on her love of jazz, chansons, tango, latin rhythm and new-age, and themes of nature, art, social justice and ideology. This is an unmissable opportunity to catch live this very special artist, with her band including guitar virtuoso Nicolas Meier.
