Concert Program

We are so excited to present the Festival debut of THEN THIS, the hottest, newest jazz ensemble in Australia.

The musical connections between these virtuoso performers span 30 years, and tonight we unleash the power of this combination, masterminded by Niko Schäuble – composer, drummer, and producer. His playful engagement with traditional music language, not just jazz, adds an element of lightness, without turning into farce. No matter what the stylistic setting may be, the melody is always at the heart of his writing – possibly a little unexpected from a drummer/composer!

Colleen Guiney lives in the coastal town of Port Fairy and with her partner operates Drift House, award winning boutique accommodation known for its design aesthetic.

Colleen draws on her visual perspective and experience in design in everything she does, including her paintings which are colourful and emotionally charged with influence from her surroundings. Her paintings reflect shapes and aesthetics that are linked to her everyday routines, and the nature she immerses herself in daily.
