"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.

Ross McHenry, Julius Schwing, Django Rowe

Django Rowe - guitar

McHenry/Schwing/Rowe is a new trio that brings together three of Australia’s most idiosyncratic voices in jazz and creative music. Featuring Ross McHenry on bass (Syd) with Django Rowe (Adelaide) and Julius Schwing (Bruny Island) on guitars, this trio takes a collective approach to composition, championing music born of a deep appreciation of place while exploring the infinite textural and harmonic possible worlds presented by this instrumentation.

Chaos Collective

Ben Lopes - guitars, composition
Saskia Shearer - percussion
Maddy Briggs - piano
Lilly Innis - cello

The new improvised music ensemble Chaos Collective are determined to be a force within Australia’s New Music scene. Members Ben Lopes (composition, guitars), Saskia Shearer (percussion), Maddy Briggs (piano) and Lily Innis (cello) find solace in the weird and exciting world of modern instrumental performance treading the line between Classical, Electronic and Experimental. Mentored by Ensemble Offspring founder Damien Ricketson, Chaos Collective morphs together electro-acoustic improvisations, new original compositions, and published chamber works. As the name suggests, the Ensemble holds the audience between states of chaos and calm in surround-sound performance settings eliminating the binary nature of the typical classical performance. Chaos Collective embarked on an international trip to perform at the Cortona Sessions for New Music in Tuscany, Italy in June 2023. The collective was also invited to perform at Dots and Loops Playback festival in Brisbane in late 2023.
