Melbourne based pianist Andrea Keller will premiere a new series of works for trio and strings, with complementary harbour side views. The music will be eloquent, intimate and deeply emotional – a truly beautiful concert for SIMA’s Sydney International Women’s Jazz Fest.

A tranquil musical journey guaranteed to evoke vivid images of nature. Inspired by the landscapes of Finland and Australia, this world premiere will give rise to a meditative state of mind.

Marlene Cummins is a saxophonist, activist and proud Guguyelandji, and Woppaburra woman. This world premiere will speak of the shared experiences of First Nations jazz and blues women before & after the Aboriginal Rights Movement. She’ll be celebrating these pioneering artists through her music and stories.
