Performing artists from a range of disciplines come from around the globe to present a schedule of events designed to appeal to a wide and diverse audience. The 2019 Festival will run from Saturday, January 19th until Saturday, March 9th.
The 44th Annual Bermuda Festival opens with the 10-time GRAMMY® Award-winning, legendary jazz vocal group, The Manhattan Transfer on Saturday, January 19th.

Founded in 1969 and signed to Atlantic Records by the legendary head of the label, Ahmet Ertegun, the group released their self-titled debut in 1975. The critical praise and commercial success of the group’s first seven studio albums could hardly have prepared them for the monumental success of their 1985 album Vocalese (12 GRAMMY® Award nominations that year). As one of the most important and innovative vocal groups in the history of popular music, The Manhattan Transfer accrued worldwide sales in the millions and are veterans of sold-out world tours. Along with Chick Korea, TMT has recently been awarded The National Music Council’s American Eagle Award at the NAMM show in Nashville and released a new album entitled The Junction.
