"Monday Night Confessions" is a weekly show presenting original jazz/improvised music. Run out of Church Street Studios in Camperdown, Sydney, we acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, and pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging.

19 May 2025 - featuring: Ravi Tratchenberg-Ray & Aidan Wong // Pratt McMahon Hirst & Gander

Ravi Tratchenberg-Ray & Aidan Wong

Aidan Wong (tenor saxophone) and Ravi T-Ray (piano) have spent the last two months sculpting a new language—not with words, but with sound. Their latest improvised work is built on evolving structures and sonic platforms that serve as launching pads for deeply personal expression.

This extended performance isn’t just a concert—it’s a living, breathing exploration of musical thought. Expect an unfolding journey of spontaneous orchestration, shifting dynamics, and melodic fragments that bloom and recede. Drawing from a wide palette of textures and gestures, the duo will showcase a unique performance, letting intuition and trust guide them into uncharted territory.
