MNC - Zela Margossian (quintet) // Sam Gill, Phillipa Murphy Haste (duo)
Sam Gill + Phillippa Murphy-Haste:
Phillippa and Sam have been dipping into duo moments for almost a decade as members of Microfiche, and they’ve recently begun playing as a duo in their own right, including at the celebrated 2023 Inner West Jazz Festival. Their music casts a wide stylistic net, in freely improvised sets that draw on their shared love of jazz, folk music, contemporary chamber music and meditative minimalism. Expect the stage to be strewn with woodwind instruments large and small, as well as a viola for good measure.
Sam Gill - saxophones Phillippa Murphy-Haste - clarinets & viola
Zela Margossian Quintet:
Featuring a diverse line-up of some of Sydney’s finest musicians, the ARIA-nominated Zela Margossian Quintet are bringing their original music to Church Street Studios for Monday Night Confessions for the first time. Margossian has garnered international attention in recent years for her kaleidoscopic original works and arrangements carrying influences from Armenian traditional music, melded with jazz and classical roots.
