Nubya Garcia: Cello Concerto

The multi-award-winning jazz saxophonist Nubya Garcia announces the world premiere of her first-ever cello concerto, written especially for Manchester Camerata’s Principal Cellist Hannah Roberts and created in collaboration with Factory International. A pillar of the British contemporary jazz scene, Nubya Garcia released her debut album Source in 2020 to widespread critical acclaim, earning a Mercury Prize nomination. She has since toured internationally, performed at major festivals including Glastonbury, and supported Khruangbin on their sold-out US tour. Her 2024 album Odyssey expands her orchestral and genre-blending sound. A 2026 MOBO Awards ‘Best Jazz Act’ nominee, Nubya Garcia tours globally, performs at major festivals, has composed for TV and has collaborated with brands including Burberry, Fossil and Vogue. It has long been Nubya’s dream to write a cello concerto. Having studie
