PERTH INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL AT THE ELLINGTON JAZZ CLUB
25TH OCTOBER – 2ND NOVEMBER

First meetings rarely play out in public, but they will at this unique show.

Nice To Meet You brings together two world-class musicians who have never played together and puts them in front of an audience that can watch in wonder as they navigate this new musical relationship in real time.

Set 1: Nice to Meet You! Joost Lijbaart (NL) & Harry Mitchell

Expect a boundary-pushing exploration of rhythm and harmony when Dutch drummer Joost Lijbaart and Perth pianist Harry Mitchell first meet. Lijbaart’s vast palette – spanning jazz, modern classical, world traditions, and improvisation – meets Mitchell’s lyrical yet daring pianism. Together, they’ll weave intricate textures and unexpected turns, balancing delicacy and drive in a performance where tradition, invention, and global influences collide.

Set 2: Nice to Meet You! Wolfert Brederode (NL) & Holly Moore (VIC)

Dutch pianist Wolfert Brederode’s poetic lyricism meets Melbourne saxophonist Holly Moore’s bold, dynamic voice. Brederode’s music is marked by poetic lyricism, meditative depth, and chamber-like interplay, while Moore has emerged as a dynamic new voice in Australian jazz – celebrated for her bold compositions, commanding tone, and recent release FLOOD on Namboku Records. Together, they blend European elegance with Australian creativity in a performance of atmosphere, intimacy, and fearless improvisation.
