The Northern Rivers Conservatorium (NRC) is thrilled to welcome award-winning Australian vocalist Emma Pask, who will be performing again as part of the NRC 2025 visiting artists program on Friday, May 2.
Well known for spending the last 20 years by the side of jazz virtuoso James Morrison, Emma Pask has firmly established herself as one of this country’s favourite voices in jazz. As James himself has said, ‘Many singers sing jazz songs, but when you hear the real thing, it’s a totally different experience. Emma is the one who inspires others to want to sing jazz.’
Emma is sure to delight as she interweaves storytelling through timeless, swinging jazz standards, upbeat Latin rhythms, tender ballads and of course some raucous blues.
Emma will be joined by the incomparable Kevin Hunt on piano. Kevin is a leading player on the Australian jazz scene and has been since the late ‘70s.
Having been an integral part of the Don Burrows band for many years, along with fronting his own trio, Emma finds Kevin’s unique approach to the piano fascinating, and with his incredibly supportive accompaniment both Emma and Kevin have the chance to shine individually yet complement each other perfectly.
This is your chance to catch one of Australia’s finest voices up close and personal in the beautifully intimate setting of voice and piano.
Anita Bellman, Executive Director of the Northern Rivers Conservatorium said, ‘Emma is such an incredible singer and joyful, playful performer and we’re so excited to see her again. We feel especially honoured as Emma and Kevin will be ‘christening’ the newly built stage, our beautiful Concert Room.’
