“It began with all three musicians playing Tibetan singing bowls, a sound that did not just fill the air, but seemed to make each molecule glisten.” – THE MUSIC

Australia’s most influential saxophonist, Dr Sandy Evans joins Master koto player Satsuki Odamura and ARIA-Award winning bassist Steve Elphick for a breath-taking performance at the Sydney Opera House. Having paved the way for female jazz musicians here at home and abroad, Sandy Evans’s work exploring intercultural music is impressive.
