Past Event
For this special performance at The Count’s, Paul appears with the students from the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music and Performance. This performance will feature new arrangements of recent works by Williamson written during a cathartic phase of contemplating old and new. Monash Sessions projects enable students the privilege and rare opportunity to rehearse, perform and record the compositions alongside the composers. This unique student experience is a key pedagogical approach within the SZCSoMP, with established artists mentoring the emerging generation of jazz musicians.
