Pacific Jazz Orchestra, led by Artistic Director Chris Walden, spotlights the soaring vocals of GRAMMY© Award-winning and two-time Tony-nominated Broadway and West End star Eva Noblezada (The Great Gatsby, Hadestown, Miss Saigon, Les Misérables) one night only on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 8:00 pm, at The Soraya in Northridge. The versatile artist, hailed as one of “Broadway's biggest talents” (People Magazine), is featured on a program of jazz, Broadway, and pop songs hand-selected and arranged by Walden to showcase Noblezada’s remarkable vocal range. Pacific Jazz Orchestra, an LA-based 40-piece hybrid big band and jazz orchestra, made its sell-out debut performance at The Soraya (CSUN/Northridge) last season, which was heralded as the “Best Jazz Performance” by San Francisco Classical Voice’s (SFCV) Reader’s Choice Awards.
The concert on Saturday, February 1, at 8pm, launches The Soraya’s 4th Annual Jazz at Naz Festival, which was recently recognized “as one of the best winter jazz festivals on the West Coast as well as the jazz epicenter in Los Angeles” (SFCV).
Noblezada dazzled on Broadway as Eurydice in the original production of the mega-hit Hadestown, following her riveting performances in London’s revivals of Miss Saigon and Les Misérables. She is currently wowing audiences as Daisy Buchanan in the new Broadway musical adaptation of The Great Gatsby. On screen, she starred alongside Lea Salonga in Yellow Rose and voiced the lead role of Sam in Apple TV+’s Luck.
The Soraya is located at California State University/Northridge, 18111 Nordhoff Street, Northridge, CA, 91330. For tickets ($55-$158) and information, visit www.the soraya.org or call (818) 677-3000.
