About the Concert

Join us for an evening of jazz, featuring a collaboration between multi-instrumentalist James Morrison, and the Newcastle Wind Orchestra!

Renowned globally as one of Australia's most versatile jazz musicians, James Morrison is not only a trumpet virtuoso but also a consummate showman. With a professional career spanning decades, James began performing at the age of 13 and has since shared the stage with some of the best jazz musicians of this generation. His talents have graced audiences at the highest levels, including performances for the President and First Lady of the United States.

James is not only a performer, but also an educator, dedicated to nurturing the next generation of musicians. His reputation as "The Genius," as dubbed by Ray Brown, and his endorsement from jazz legend Wynton Marsalis ("Man, James Morrison can play!") speak volumes about his unparalleled skill and artistry.

Newcastle Wind Orchestra (NWO) is part of the Newcastle Youth Orchestra organization, based in Newcastle and comprising musicians from across the Hunter region. As a not-for-profit ensemble, NWO is dedicated to showcasing the talents of local artists and composers. With a commitment to inclusivity, NWO welcomes musicians of all ages, providing a platform for both seasoned performers and aspiring talents to come together.

This collaboration with James Morrison is an exciting foray into jazz for NWO, promising an evening of unforgettable musical experiences. Don't miss this chance to witness the magic of James Morrison and the Newcastle Wind Orchestra coming together on stage. Grab your loved ones and join us for an unforgettable night of music for everyone.
