This is a past event which has now ended.

★★★★ ‘expect big things’ The Guardian

Born and raised in South London, Henry graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in 2016 and has gone on to perform and collaborate with the likes of Jason Marsalis, Terence Blanchard and Jean Toussaint.

He released his Sony debut Easter EP in early 2018, drawing from jazz, hip-hop, R&B and punk. The EP sees Henry tackle a broad range of material in his original tracks and re-arrangements of tracks by revered US rapper Nas and indie punk trio The Enemy; it is an imaginative project that marks Henry out as an important new voice on the UK music scene.

‘Ashley Henry’s jazz interpretation of this Nas classic is astounding’ Clash – click here to read the full review

‘It’s well-proven that hip-hop and jazz make great partners. Following in the lineage of Robert Glasper, Madlib, and Makaya McCraven, Ashley Henry’s work on the piano sensitively reaches into both worlds.’ The Fader

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
