Join ARIA‑winning composer, pianist and educator Andrea Keller for her acclaimed project Transients, a special live performance alongside trumpeter Niran Dasika and guitarist Theo Carbo.

Renowned for poetic improvisation, deep collaboration and contemporary jazz composition, Keller’s music is expressive, adventurous and richly human. This performance brings together three distinct musical voices in a shared exploration of sound, space and connection.

Founded by Andrea Keller, Transients is an evolving series of musical collaborations inspired by the philosophy and legacy of the late Allan Browne.

In 2026, the project celebrates 10 years, marking a decade of creative exchange, meaningful dialogue and collective music‑making.

Keller has released 4 albums under the Transients banner, earning major recognition including a Music Victoria Award for Best Jazz Album and ARIA nominations. A tireless champion of Australian creative music, she is also Head of Jazz & Improvisation at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music.

Support act: Tony Yang Trio

Emerging jazz guitarist Tony Yang – first spotted on the Clayton Festival Youth Stage – opens the evening with his trio.

A rising talent in Melbourne’s jazz scene, Tony is currently studying Jazz and Improvisation at the University of Melbourne and regularly performs at leading venues across the city.
