Zephers Jazz present The Zela Margossian Quintet at Four Winds

Zela Margossian’s late-2018 debut album, Transition,  created a sensation both here and overseas. She certainly attracted  Zephyrs Jazz’s attention, and Four Winds is thrilled that Zela and her  Quintet will spend a week as Artists-in-Residence prior to their  concert.

The liner notes to Transition describe its music as  ‘melodies that juggle speed, calculation and experimentation alongside a  sometimes soft, windswept mood’. It blends jazz with the Armenian,  middle-eastern and classical traditions and with the music of ethno-jazz  greats such as Tunisia’s Dhafer Youssef and fellow Armenian Tigran  Hamasyan.

Transition attracted an ARIA nomination for Best World Jazz  Album and enthusiastic and influential reviews. Prestigious performance  invitations soon followed, including: the Beirut International Jazz  Festival and Sydney’s International Women’s Jazz Festival.

Three years later, Zela and her Quintet have consolidated their  reputation with their February 2022 release of a second enthusiastically  received album, The Road. As the title implies, the album continues their musical journey.

The event runs for approx. 2 hours including interval. Bar will be  open for drinks purchases at the start of the event and during interval.

Bookings are essential. Read more here about our venue’s Covid-19 protocols, and what to expect when you visit.
