Queens

Come share the dream at KCA's annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebration. Every January since 2017, KCA and Queens College have held a special event in honor and memory of Dr. King's legacy and connection to Queens College, where he delivered a powerful speech in 1965. The program this year will feature a special performance by jazz songstress Samara Joy, a keynote address by the event's honoree, a recognition ceremony, and a post-show reception. Rising star Samara Joy's velvety, smooth voice puts her own enchanting interpretation on jazz standards from the Great American Songbook. After winning the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition at the age of 19, she released her debut album Samara Joy. One of the most promising young vocalists, she has already performed in many of the great jazz venues in New York City and beyond, including Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Blue Note, and the Apollo Theatre.
