Elena Pinderhughes

About the show 

Hailed by The Guardian as “the most exciting and creatively assured jazz flutist to have emerged in years,” Elena Pinderhughes has a distinctive voice that’s expanding jazz's emotional range. Her work channels something rarely articulated in the genre: music that feels both tender and sensual, mysterious and direct, grounded in feminine creative vision without apology. After a decade as one of the most sought-after collaborators across genres, the flutist-composer-vocalist is stepping out as a bandleader. 

From touring with Herbie Hancock and Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah to performing at Coachella with Future and Metro Boomin, Elena’s artistic approach moves between worlds without compromising authenticity, honoring tradition while pushing beyond its boundaries. She’s performed at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the White House and major jazz festivals from Newport and Monterey to Montreal and Montreux.
