Laufey 

Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center

Experience an enchanting evening with the Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter Laufey at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center. This special performance, part of the Mahaiwe Presents series, is scheduled for Friday, April 7, 2023, at 8:00 pm. Laufey, known for her unique blend of jazz and classical music, brings her rich cultural heritage and diverse musical influences to the stage, promising an unforgettable night of tender melodies and captivating performances.

Raised between Reykjavík and Washington, DC, Laufey's music is deeply influenced by her classical violinist mother and her father's jazz record collection, featuring legends like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. A prodigy who took up piano and cello early on, Laufey's style evolved as she explored the works of composers like Ravel and Chopin, and the Great American Songbook artists such as George Gershwin and Richard Rodgers. Her music finds a beautiful middle ground between jazz and classical, enriched by her studies at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Laufey's performance at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center is not just a concert; it's a journey through her intimate experiences in life and love, presented through a modern, relatable songwriting style. Her classically-trained background ensures each song is produced and performed with the soul of jazz tunes, making for a deeply personal and engaging musical experience.
