• Resonance | Adelaide International Jazz Festival

    Nexus Arts Lion Arts Centre, 68 North Terrace, Adelaide, SA, Australia

    Purchase tickets Resonance brings together four world-renowned improviser-composers who use their collective voice to shatter against the glass ceiling.

    Co-leaders Sandy Evans (saxophones) and Andrea Keller (piano) stand among Australia’s most distinguished contemporary jazz musicians. They are joined by Michelle Nicolle*, one of Australia's finest jazz vocalists, and Jenny Barnes, whose vocal practice grows out of her deep study of linguistics in improvisation.

    The suite draws on their shared experience of building a creative life while caring for partners, children, aging parents and community. It speaks to the demands placed on mid-career and elder women, and to a jazz scene, and a society, still slow to recognise them. Lyrics for the project were commissioned, premiering new works by Michele Morgan, Hazel Smith and Andrea Keller alongside poems by Sara Teasdale and Jeannie Greensfelder.

    * Due to unforeseen circumstances, Kristin Berardi is not able to travel to Australia. Michelle Nicolle will take her place for the Resonance tour.
