Rachel Ambaye is a jazz vocalist and composer from South Burlington, Vermont. She is a recent graduate from the University of Vermont, where she completed degrees in both Jazz Studies, Global Studies and minored in French. She is passionate about sound, the memories it awakens, and its connection to culture. Rachel cherishes her studies and performances of jazz, as they allow for further education, connection, and exploration of African American culture—an expansive culture that has been integral to the foundations of this country. She will begin pursuing her Masters of music in Jazz Performance at New England Conservatory this upcoming Fall.
Rachel Ambaye will be joined by three incredible local musicians, Tom Cleary on piano, Jeremy Hill on bass, and Zach Brownstein on drums.
