Event description

Greta Williams Quartet
Greta Williams (Vocals) Benjamin Attiche (Guitar) Jordan Tarento (Bass) Patrick Skarajew (Drums)

Greta Williams is an emerging vocalist, composer, songwriter and arranger whose work pairs intimate, collage-like lyrics with subtle musical prosody to create songs with evocative specificity and fearless honesty. Greta is a recent graduate of the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music and Performance at Monash University and Winner of Geoffrey Whitelaw Emerging Composition Scholarship (2024).

Supported by some of Australia's most exciting improvisers and composers, Benjamin Attiche (Guitar), Jordan Tarento (Double Bass) and Pat Skarajew (Drums), the Quartet will take you on a journey through original songs and delicate arrangements of classic jazz standards, folk songs and works by Joni Mitchell, Stephen Sondheim and others.

More about Greta
Bringing a unique background in both classical and contemporary voice, Greta has performed with acclaimed Australian ensembles, including Invenio Singers, the Monash Art Ensemble, Essendon Airport and the Choir of Trinity College. As a bandleader, Greta leads the chamber-jazz quartet Company, performing original compositions with Cheryl Durongpisitkul (Alto Saxophone), Stephen Hornby (Double Bass) and Johannes Luebbers (Piano).

Other recent projects include composing an original work for Monash University’s 2023 Melbourne Fringe Show, Wild By Night, directed by Moira Finuncane, and writing lyrics for the re-recording of Paul Grabowsky’s work, Continues (release pending) as part of the 2023 Monash Sessions. During her time at Monash, Greta performed with leaders in Australian Jazz, including Paul Grabowsky, Jamie Oehlers, and Kristin Berardi, and as part of the Geoffrey Whitelaw Scholarship, Greta has been commissioned to write a new work for the Monash Art Ensemble.

Presented by the Coolroom as part of the Summer of 2025: Coolroom Jazz.
