Ian Potter Recital Hall, The Hedberg, entrance at 19 Collins Street Hobart
Summary:An exciting concert of jazz exploring collaborative composition and improvisation.
Winners of the 2024 Ossa Music Prize, SymmeTrio is a new group exploring jazz in a rarely used setting. The band is driven by Louis Monaghan on piano, with Jode Brewster (saxophone) and Joshua Ford-King (trumpet) providing the extra colour on top. With no rhythm section, the group focuses on harmonic and acoustic exploration, weaving the unique sounds of each instrument into a dense structure.
This group takes strong influence from the work of Australian composers Sam Anning and Andrea Keller. Louis, Jode, and Josh enjoy composing collaboratively, by providing competing ideas and letting the music do the talking. SymmeTrio hopes to provide an exciting performance that will allow the listener to immerse themselves in the sound.
