CMaP delivered three accessible and affordable afternoon concerts, each offering something unique.

  • Bob Sedergreen, Australian jazz legend, shared stories from his life in jazz alongside his outstanding band.
  • Pippa Wilson, Melbourne’s Lady of Jazz, performed movie-themed jazz classics with Jazz Notes.
  • Concordia Mandolin and Guitar Ensemble presented a rich program of instrumental and vocal music by Vivaldi, Elgar, and the Beatles — all with the shimmering sound of massed mandolins.

These concerts offered more than just great music. Audiences had the chance to meet the performers, ask questions, and enjoy a personal connection in a welcoming local setting.
