International Jazz Day Celebration

On the eve of International Jazz Day, the Jazz & Improvisation department celebrate the rich diversity and brilliance of the Australian jazz and improvised music community. This concert features International Jazz Day Artist in Residence Simon Barker (Sydney drummer and academic), alongside a selection of J&I staff. In 2024 the Jazz & Improvisation department were thrilled to welcome twelve new members to their continuing staff. Those featured in this concert include Sam Anning (bass), Stephen Magnusson (guitar), Barney McAll (piano), Angela Davis (saxophone), Carlo Barbaro (saxophone) and Gian Slater voice. Together they will perform a mix of repertoire and ensemble combinations in the spirit of jazz and improvisation.

PARKING

The City of Melbourne has recently changed the parking restrictions around the Southbank Campus. Parking control hours are now expanded to 7am–10pm, seven days per week, and are capped at three hours. A $2-per-hour fee after 7pm is also now in place. There is no change to the $4-per-hour peak rate between 7am–7pm. Parking inspectors are regularly in the area fining drivers who overstay their meter, so we encourage everyone to be aware and avoid an expensive fine. More information.
