Melbourne Women's International Jazz Festival Symposium

"Can I make a career out of this?” 

Career Pathways for Improvisers -  which yellow brick road to follow…..

A panel of leading improvisers discuss their journeys and career pathways across a range of music industry sectors.

 Bringing their unique voices into the conversation, trombonist/vocalist Shannon Barnett (Germany/Aus), saxophonist Sandy Evans (Syd), keyboardist/pianist/vocalist Lena Douglas (Denmark/Aus) and vocalist Lauren Kate Henderson (Adelaide) will discuss how they have navigated their career pathways in the music industry, and their education and musical journeys locally, nationally and internationally - past, present and future!

 The insights provided by these leading musicians and improvisers might surprise you!

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.

ACCESSIBILITY

All venues at the Southbank campus are wheelchair accessible. To read more about access services available at our venues, please visit:  https://finearts-music.unimelb.edu.au/access-our-events.
