Join guitarist Oliver Vonlanthen for Musings in Music, an intimate trio performance exploring the intersections of jazz, Brazilian music, and the lyrical traditions of solo guitar. Inspired by the contemplative soundscapes of Keith Jarrett, Bill Evans, Pat Metheny, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Paco de Lucia, and Guinga, the evening will feature original compositions and adventurous reinterpretations of jazz standards and Latin classics. Blending acoustic, electric, and classical guitar textures within the dynamic framework of a minimalist guitar-bass-drums trio, this performance is a celebration of musical exploration and life lived through sound.
This performance will feature:
Oliver Vonlanthen – Guitars
Zac Grafton – Basses
Ben Vanderwal – Drums
Oliver Vonlanthen is a 26 year old graduate of the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts specialising in jazz performance. Since graduating in 2020, he has performed locally in Perth in instrumental and vocalist-led duos, trios, and groups playing music in a variety of styles. Most recently, Oliver has broadened his musical horizons through extended performance contracts on international cruise lines, spending several months in the Mediterranean and South America. These experiences deepened his appreciation for global musical traditions and saw him collaborating nightly with a diverse group of musicians, particularly from South America, further enriching his playing and artistic perspective.
