Emma Pask

Doors 6pm
Show 7pm

Celebrated as one of Australia’s most gifted and charismatic jazz vocalists, Emma Pask has enjoyed a remarkable career that spans more than 30 years. With a voice that effortlessly blends sophistication and soulful swing, she continues to win the hearts of audiences across the globe, from intimate jazz venues to world-renowned concert halls.

After last year’s SOLD OUT series of shows at The Ellington Jazz Club, Emma Pask is returning with “Two Out” — a chance to catch one of Australia’s finest voices up close and personal, in this beautifully intimate duo setting of voice and piano. Emma is sure to delight as she interweaves storytelling through timeless swinging jazz standards, upbeat latin rhythms, tender ballads and of course some raucous blues.

Emma will be joined by Perth’s very own Tom O’Halloran on piano. Along with touring his own trio throughout Australia, Tom is a leading Lecturer at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) at Edith Cowan University, coordinating WAAPA Jazz academic and performance programs. He is a regularly commissioned composer, and currently holds a Master of Music in classical composition from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and a Bachelor of Music (Jazz).

“It is a constant pleasure to hear a performer who is at ease with her material and consistently gleeful at the prospect of sharing it with her audience. She is a world-class jazz singer.” – Glam Adelaide

“She is both the commanding lead and an instrument in her own right, such is her talent.” – Sydney Arts Guide

“Gifted with big ears, formidable technique and a free-wheeling conception, pianist/composer Tom O’Halloran should be on the must-hear list of anyone interested in hearing the best of what current Australian jazz has to offer.” – Mike Nock
