Join MAS Presents for the Denver debut of Camila Meza! On the heels of her performance at Carnegie Hall, Meza will deliver an intimate concert that is sure to leave you spellbound.Equally celebrated as a vocalist, guitarist, and composer, Meza has uplifted audiences worldwide with her assured and beautiful singing, highly advanced guitar skills, and vivid, melodic songwriting that reveals complex layers with every listen.Since moving to New York in 2009, she has made a significant mark on the jazz scene, bringing a sound full of warmth and clarity. Meza has distinguished herself as a member of Ryan Keberle’s, Catharsis and Fabian Almazan’s, Rhizome, and she now leads The Nectar Orchestra, an octet collaboration with bassist and arranger Noam Wiesenberg.Hailing from Chile and deeply influenced by jazz legends like George Benson and Pat Metheny, Camila blends her South American roots with innovative jazz sounds, creating a captivating musical experience. Camila’s acclaimed album Traces (2016) earned her two Independent Music Awards - Best Adult Contemporary Album and Best Latin Song for Para Volar.With an impressive vocal range and expressive guitar skills, Meza has appeared at festivals worldwide, as well as on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts and WBGO’s The Checkout, garnering praise from The Village Voice, The Wall Street Journal, and many other outlets. In 2018, Pat Metheny enlisted Meza to perform and serve as musical director for his NEA Jazz Masters induction ceremony at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and in 2022, Meza was named "#1 Rising Star Female Vocalist" by Downbeat Magazine.Described by The New York Times as “a bright young singer and guitarist with an ear for music of both folkloric and pop intention,” Meza captivates audiences with her unique combination of lightness and depth.Don’t miss your chance to witness this triple threat live on stage as she takes you on a joyful journey through her rich and dynamic sound."Camila Meza possesses a rare gift; she excels in all departments. Her voice is exquisite, her guitar playing first-rate, and her songwriting imaginative . . . It’s difficult to offer up a comparison to Camila Meza. She really is a songbird taking flight, perhaps in a way that Joni Mitchell once did, breaking new ground without realising it, blending a gorgeous jazz-folk sound. The beauty of it is that it all just sounds so naturally effortless . . . clearly a star in the making." - Mike Gates, UK Vibe
