A jazz concert that evokes the sensation of soaring, like starlings in murmuration, moving in synchronicity with the musicians.

“This sax virtuoso will make you believe you can fly! ...Pianist Lauren Tsamouras, bassist Hannah James and drummer Holly Connor are fully alive to Ottignon’s desired balancing of lightness and mass”

“Volant is velvet and it is granite. Soft and subtle, hard and boisterous in fairly equal measure. When Ottignon and company play, you listen, unable to be distracted, unable to not take something away from the endeavor.”

Matthew Ottignon invites listeners on a journey that celebrates the beauty of birds, both in their physical flight and as symbols of freedom.

The music moves effortlessly from moments of anthemic heroism, with Ottignon’s fiery tenor at the fore, to lyrical melodies and intimate soundscapes, where the subtle yet confident artistry of Hayley, Hannah, and Lauren nurture the music to a place of sheer beauty.

While embodying the spirit of giants such as John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, Volant are an Australian modern jazz quartet, delivering world-class compositions and thrilling improvised dialogue.
