Melbourne based Jazz vocalist Michelle Nicolle returns for an intimate night at Church Street Studio. For this concert Michelle will be joined by bass legend Jonathan Zwartz and her regular Melbourne band members and Hugh Stuckey Ronny Ferella drums. Michelle will be performing songs from her 2024 release "Ten" featuring her own compositions and a selection from her 30 plus year repertoire. “Michelle Nicolle’s approach is original, her interpretation singular, resembling no other.” Paris Move, Feb 2025 “…she takes hold of the audience in a way that all one can think of is don’t let go, don’t stop.”  “If there’s such a phenomenon as the perfect jazz singer, Michelle Nicolle is far away my choice.***** “The Weekend Australian, Aug 2023

Violinist Patrick Galvin and pianist Jennifer Hou honour the profound influence of Galvin’s former teacher, the legendary violinist Camilla Wicks, with the heartfelt program, ‘Dear Camilla’. The performance features a spoken epistolary narrative woven amongst the music, and includes works by Sibelius, Chopin, Chausson, Pärt, Greenhill, Higdon, and Beach. This project first emerged during the duo’s Masters degrees at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Galvin and Hou have continued to collaborate on “Dear Camilla,” as well as other programs together across North America and Australia. They will be touring in the UK in July 2026. “Dear Camilla,” was released as an album in August 2025 on the Navona record label.

Mike Nock and Leah Berry sold out their debut performance at the Inner West Jazz festival within minutes. Leah Berry, who is without doubt on of the most exciting young vocalists to emerge on the Sydney scene in years, wrote lyrics to 9 of master composer Mike Nock's instrumental pieces, and this was their debut concert. Now Mike and Leah have been in the studio to record this extraordinary collaboration, joined by drummer Laurence Pike and bassist Jonathan Zwartz. This concert will be the first public appearance before the recording is released.
