Another Green World returns with a new iteration of the project, presenting a fresh set of compositions ahead of the recording of their second album later this year.

Led by pianist and composer Lauren Tsamouras, the ensemble draws on elements of Greek traditional music as a way of exploring Tsamouras’ Greek heritage and what it means to be Greek-Australian today. The music weaves Greek-inspired melodic and rhythmic ideas through Tsamouras’ distinct compositional voice, blending lyrical beauty, free improvisation and pulsatile structures.

Featuring Lauren Tsamouras (piano), Hilary Geddes (guitar), Brendan Clark (bass) and Ashley Stoneham (drums), this performance offers an intimate glimpse into a body of work in motion—music shaped by lineage, experimentation and collective listening.
