JADE Ensemble Tickets

Immerse yourself in a powerful expression of cultural harmony as JADE Ensemble premieres their ground-breaking work, 響和 Kyo-Wa, Harmonic Resonance. The intimate concert set in the Underground Theatre will feature the combined artistry of Indigenous didgeridoo artist and musician David Williams, Japanese koto master Takako Haggarty, Nepalese tabla virtuoso Dheeraj Shrestha and guitarist/composer Anthony Garcia.

Through an immersive creative residency supported by Creative Australia the artists have improvised, experimented, composed and explored new transcendent sound possibilities blending ancient and contemporary musical traditions and processes. Kyo-Wa represents how the iterative process of musical communication and conversation can harmonise to generate new cultural frequencies and representations.

Established in 2019, JADE Ensemble’s musical trajectory transcends stereotypical notions of world music. From ethereal mindful soundscapes and delicate arrangements of traditional folk themes to driving electric funk-style pulsations, the groups open creative process generates a musical style that defies categorisation.
