Throwing yourself into the deep has a unique effect on creativity and innovation.

Emma Stephenson has been recognized as a pianist and composer of exceptional ability. Her time abroad saw her play and connect with musicians across the piano bar circuit of New York.

In this performance, with a new band that blends modern jazz and contemporary pop, Emma hits the SIMA stage for the first time since returning to Australia.

Japan and Australia-inspired guitarist Yutaro Okuda’s fusion of traditional and contemporary music. Premiering a new suite of compositions, expect high-intensity improvisation, angular contours and shifting harmonic colours.

Don’t miss two creative forces in concert at Foundry 616!

Emma Stephenson – Piano & Vocals
Oli Nelson – Drums
Felix Lalanne – Guitar
Cam Undy – Bass

Yutaro Okuda – Guitar
Wilbur Whitta – Piano
