Since its establishment in 2019, San Ureshi has been experimenting with various cultures, soundscapes and textures, breaking boundaries through their projects and compositions. 

Also, the Youth Jazz Orchestra have been busy with a number of projects including performing at the Lismore Show, collaborating with The Hot Potato Band for the Music In Schools Big Play Day, and supporting our vocalists for the Singers’ Showcase in December.

These are to be held on December 8 and 15, from 4.30pm.
