“The evening was one of intimacy, restraint and – yes – resonance, with all four artists focused on listening, responding and sharing, their spirit of openness resonating with the audience in turn.” – The Age
Resonance is the latest collaboration from two of Australia’s finest jazz musicians; saxophonist Sandy Evans and pianist Andrea Keller, joined by exceptional vocalists Kristin Berardi and Jenny Barnes.
Inspired by their shared experiences striving to be prolific, creative musicians while juggling the demands of family, care, community and artistic practice, Resonance explores what it means to sustain a creative life across decades.
Weaving together new works by Michele Morgan, Hazel Smith and Andrea Keller with settings of poems by Sara Teasdale and Jeannie Greensfelder, the project gives voice to the experiences of women in the arts, opening up conversations around gender, creativity and care.
Be swept away by music that moves between composition and improvisation, reflecting the balance between structure and surrender that shapes our lives.
