The Great Piano Recital

An evening of masterful improvisation, breathtaking composition, and sonic storytelling featuring three of the most compelling pianists in contemporary jazz and improvised music.

Alister Spence – A pre-eminent force in Australian jazz, Spence’s improvisations and compositions have captivated audiences for over 30 years. His innovative approach to sound and structure has seen him collaborate with some of the world’s most respected artists across music, film, and theatre. ‘Spence has that priceless gift of always leaving you wanting more.’ – Jazzwise Magazine UK

Luke Sweeting – A pianist and composer whose work straddles the boundaries of jazz, contemporary classical, and improvisation. His collaborations, including the acclaimed Antipodes and Grey Wing Trio, have redefined the possibilities of compositional direction and spontaneity.

Monica Brooks – A minimalist pianist and composer whose deeply evocative work is shaped by landscapes, love, and loss. Her music unfolds with poetic elegance, crafting soundscapes that are both fragile and powerful.

Together, these three pianists will take audiences on an immersive journey of texture, emotion, and improvisational brilliance. Don’t miss this rare convergence of artistic voices at The Great Piano Recital.
