Testimonials

SIMA took into consideration, my whole story and helped me feel culturally safe … I look forward to seeing more concerts presented by SIMA featuring AB&TSI musicians.

– Marlene Cummins, Guguyalanji/Woppaburra musician

 

SIMA supports creative musicians in every stage of their careers… [The] organization that has done more for the creative improvised music scene than any other I have seen in my 40 plus year career.

– Jonathan Zwartz, musician, Board Member APRA/AMCOS

 

With SIMA I have done lots of performances at the Sydney Int’l Women’s Festival, in Winter and Summer Jazz:NOW series. I was a Sonic Futures artist and did the Young Women’s Jazz Workshops which helped me get the confidence to get a band together, rehearse, develop and present music. Three gigs at Orange Winter Jazz Festival connected me to new audiences…SIMA helped me become a musician for life
