Melbourne’s own JazzLab Orchestra presses reset on the big band tradition, creating visionary, original, genre-bending jazz music with a strong focus on diversity and inclusivity.

Led by composer-arrangers Cheryl Durongpisitkul and Madison James Smith, the orchestra celebrates Melbourne’s next generation of instrumentalists.
