Mark Isaacs: An evening of solo jazz piano at Eugene Goossens Hall

A composer and musician utterly unencumbered by boundaries who has a breathtaking aptitude for making feeling and experience audible – Australian Stage Online

Mark Isaacs returns to solo jazz piano in a program that sees him interpret various well-known melodies – not just “standards”, but others from more unexpected sources. Mark Isaacs’ original jazz compositions for his acclaimed Resurgence Band have seen him nominated for an ARIA Award as well as receiving an Australian Classical Music Award for Instrumental Work of the Year.

The band records for ABC Classics & Jazz and has toured extensively in Australia and Asia, including appearances at the 2009 Tokyo Jazz Festival. Mark also continues to compose major classical works, including his flute Sonatine, to be featured at the Australian Flute Festival in October and his new string sextet which will premiere in the first Australia Ensemble subscription concert of 2010.
