About the Event
Tessie Overmyer has established herself as one of the most exciting, dynamic saxophone players in the Australian jazz scene. Originally from Newcastle, she is currently studying a Master of Music at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. Tessie’s skill and musicianship have been recognised in the form of a composer commission from ABC Jazz, and in being awarded second place in the National Jazz Awards.
"Tessie has a gift that can't be learned: a natural flow for the future and the ability to speak the poetry of life and death through her horn." - Barney Mcall
This performance will feature two sets of Tessie Overmyer’s original music to celebrate the release of her debut album. Her compositional style is thoughtful and lyrical, drawing influence from a wide range of composers from Ornette Coleman to Philip Dizack to Chopin and Sibelius.
