PAST CONCERT

Concert #1

Sunday 25 August, 5pm

ZELA MARGOSSIAN QUINTET

Variously described as “Armenian folk-jazz”, “ethno-jazz” or a “fusion of folk and jazz with traditional Armenian musical influences”, it’s hard to place the Zela Margossian Quintet neatly into one genre. Performing Zela’s original music as well as arrangements of contemporary works, the band is comprised of five versatile performers and brilliant improvisers. Together they play with an undeniable synergy, ease and joy. At times playfully competitive on stage, they are always impressive, both individually and collectively.


Concert #2

Sunday 29 September, 5pm

IRAQI FOLK FUSION ENSEMBLE

Led by master violinist and former member of the Baghdad Symphony Orchestra, Imad Rahem, the Iraqi Folk Fusion Ensemble consists of acclaimed musicians of newly-established cultural group, The Australian Arab Music Centre (TAAMC), based at Yagoona. The ensemble brings the folkloric into the present with a repertoire that is both responsive to and reflective of the ever-evolving diasporic identities and experiences of its members. What can audiences expect? Arabic folk and classical forms interspersed with long improvisations where the inner workings of the ensemble are laid bare – hand cues, head nods, gestures to the audience to clap and sing along are all part of the experience.


Concert #3

Sunday 27 October, 5pm

SATSUKI ODAMURA KOTO ENSEMBLE

Well known for their dynamic stage presence - both powerful and elegant - the Satsuki Odamura Koto Ensemble is bringing their music to Bankstown for the very first time. Established in 2010, the ensemble are pioneers of the teaching and performing of the ancient Japanese instrument of the koto in Australia. They bridge the traditional with the contemporary effortlessly, working regularly with renowned Australian musicians across genres to commission new works. Visit their website for more information about their work.




Soundlands is presented by Cultural Omnivore and Bankstown Arts Centre.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.
