Geoff Bull and the Finer Cuts – in the line up at the Sydney Con International Jazz Festival<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

International stars and Australian jazz heavyweights descend upon Sydney as The University of Sydney\u2019s Conservatorium of Music hosts its third annual International Jazz Festival.\u00a0 Tickets are now on sale.<\/p>\n

Formed in 2017 with Australian jazz at its core, Artistic Director and Head of the Sydney Conservatorium Jazz Studies Program, David Theak, a tireless advocate for jazz in Australia, has again made education a central component to this year\u2019s program. He will be programming the 2019 festival along the lines of the very successful 2017 and 2018 festivals. The 2019 program is\u00a0inclusive, diverse and unique, featuring over 100 musicians in 20 master-classes and concerts.<\/p>\n

International artists include US icons,\u00a0Bill Frisell Trio, (Bill is considered\u00a0\u201cthe most innovative and influential jazz guitarist of the past 25 years\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Wall Street Journal),\u00a0along with\u00a0Billy Childs Quartet,\u00a0the five time GRAMMY winning piano virtuoso and prolific composer, plus award-winning Italian pianist\u00a0Vittorio Mezza\u00a0performing with the\u00a0Mark Ginbsurg Ensemble. The festival features four big bands and twelve small ensembles.<\/p>\n

This year, the SCIJF, is presented in association with the Sydney Improvised Music Association (SIMA). International artists will collaborate with Australian musicians, rarely heard national ensembles of excellence, cutting-edge Sydney artists and dynamic artists of tomorrow mentored by our top jazz musicians.\u00a0Students will work with some of Australia\u2019s best-known jazz musicians and composers, training in improvisation, ensemble playing and repertoire development. Classes in jazz music business skills will prepare graduates for the non-musical aspects of their career.<\/p>\n

With the exception of vocal support, Theak has taken an \u201cacoustic performance philosophy\u201d by selecting artists who perform without amplification so audiences can enjoy the music as it was designed it to be heard.<\/p>\n
