Rhiannon Kaela Hurst, an award-winning vocalist at the age of 16, has set her heart on making music. Rhiannon works professionally with Big Bands and Combos of various sizes, performing at venues ranging from Symphony Hall and the State Room in Boston to local homey restaurants. Rhiannon competed in Regional, National, and International Competitions winning Vocalist Awards at each. In the final year of the Berklee International High School Jazz Singer’s Showcase, Rhiannon won 2nd place in this competition as a H.S. Sophomore. Rhiannon was named a 2021 Award Winner in the Jazz Voice category of the prestigious National YoungArts Competition. She graduated from New England Conservatory Preparatory School with Honors in all 4 levels in jazz voice and was the recipient of the Frances B. Lanier award for “integrating her innate ability and skills into an emerging musical personality.” Rhiannon currently attends College of The Holy Cross as the Brooks Music Scholar for the class of 2025 in conjunction with continued jazz voice studies at New England Conservatory in Boston.

In the spirit of giving back to the community, each concert is partnered with a Cape Ann non-profit organization. The public is invited to make a free-will donation.
