140 artists. 26 concerts. One incredible day of jazz.
The Sydney Con Jazz Festival returns for its seventh edition, transforming the Sydney Conservatorium of Music into a vibrant hub of contemporary jazz from Australia and around the world.
Set across six world-class concert halls in the stunning surrounds of the Royal Botanic Gardens, nestled around an atrium filled with swinging jazz bands, and a fully stocked bar, the festival presents 26 concerts showcasing 140+ incredible musicians all staged on a single day, Sunday May 31 between 12pm & 9.30pm.
A range of affordable ticket options are available from $30 to $179.
Highlights include internationally acclaimed artists Ben van Gelder & Reinier Baas, Kristin Berardi with Florian Ross and strings, and Jef Neve with Teus Nobel.
Expect bold, genre-defying moments like ZERO x MACE, where hip-hop meets big band, as well as major large-ensemble works including the world premiere double big band project Friendly Foe.
Leading Australian voices such as Barney McAll, Spirograph Studies, and the Australian Youth Jazz Orchestra appear alongside award-winning emerging artists including Lucy Clifford, Lauren Tsamouras, Lachlan McKenzie and Sam Gill - showcasing the depth, diversity and future of Australian jazz.
Join us for a magical day of innovation, inspiration and improvisation!
