Award-winning Estonian singer, pianist and composer Kadri Voorand brings a unique musical world to Narva-Jõesuu Jazz, where spirituality, folk influences and improvisational pop meet. Her work is characterised by emotional immediacy, a strong stage presence, and an exceptional ability to create a deep and direct connection with the audience.

Voorand has performed on international stages including the EFG London Jazz Festival, Trondheim Jazzfest and Pori Jazz, earning recognition from both critics and audiences. Her music has been described as genre-crossing and immersive, where carefully crafted arrangements and spontaneous improvisation form a distinctive artistic whole.

Together with acclaimed bassist and double bassist Mihkel Mälgand, Voorand creates an intimate yet powerful musical dialogue. Mälgand is a respected figure on the European jazz scene and has collaborated with artists such as John Scofield, Randy Brecker, Nils Landgren and Kurt Elling.

Their shared sound moves fluidly between jazz ballads, folk influences and free improvisation, combining storytelling, vocal artistry and a playful approach to form. Whether in subtle, intimate moments or more energetic climaxes, their performance offers a cohesive and deeply engaging listening experience.
