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.

In addition to solo and collaborative projects, Rachel is an educator at Peak Music in Stowe, where she teaches voice and piano lessons to students of all ages. A devotee of collaborative creation and improvisation, Rachel is a firm believer that music should be fun and experimental. Through her work, she demonstrates how music is an integral part of the human experience, one that can be tapped into at any age, and that music has the power to convey what is left unspoken. 

Rachel Ambaye will be joined by three incredible local musicians:

Tom Cleary on piano,

Jeremy Hill on bass, and

Zach Brownstein on drums.
