Arts in the Valley is delighted to present our first jazz concert of 2026 - an entertaining and sophisticated selection of well-known and original jazz featuring Sydney vocalist Kate Wadey supported by some of Australia's top jazz musicians.

Kate’s music celebrates both classic and contemporary jazz styles. Expect to enjoy well-known standards from the American Songbook as sung by artists such as Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, as well as her own compositions - while her band will showcase the very best of Australian jazz musicianship. Her toe-tapping interpretations will leave you with a spring in your step and a song in your heart.

"Kate Wadey highlights two essential pillars of the jazz tradition: the immortal swing feel; and the slow ballad exploring life and love … Wadey represents the generation under 30, and she assembles some formidable talent." Eric Myers, The Weekend Australian.

Doors Open at 4:30pm

Two sets with a 20 minute intermission. Drinks and light refreshments available.
