NOCCA ALUM, Sarah Quintana, to perform at U.S. Mint this December
Sarah Quintana is a singer-songwriter from New Orleans with a background rich in jazz, folk and popular music. She is a charming performer, devoted guitarist and a truly gifted singer. She attended the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, NOCCA and graduated from Loyola University with a degree in English and French. Quintana splits her time between the US and France, working with saxophonist Raphael Imbert and touring on her own repertoire with French and American jazz musicians. She is a member of the Pantheatre (Linda Wise and Enrique Pardo) and is hugely inspired by Kaya Anderson of the Roy Hart vocal approach. In her latest creative effort, The Delta Demitasse, Quintana pays homage to the strength and fragility of Louisiana’s traditions— and environment, the wetlands.
