Contemporary Music Captain\u00a0Maya<\/strong>\u00a0(Year 12) is a member of the Spectra Jazz Orchestra, an ensemble of talented young women and gender diverse musicians aged 15-23. The group is for individuals interested in pursuing jazz, honing their improvisation skills and looking for experience playing in a large ensemble.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018To me, Spectra Jazz Orchestra is the place where I feel the most free to express myself in a creative way. The feeling of being surrounded by people with the same passions and love for music is so encouraging for a young person. Our director, Ellen, has fostered an environment to support young women and gender diverse people in a highly competitive field that isn\u2019t always on our side. I\u2019m so thankful for the opportunities it has given me!\u2019 says Maya.<\/p>\n

On Friday 2 June 2023, the group released their debut album, titled\u00a0Supernova<\/em>. The EP consists of six jazz works by Australian composers, including an original composition by one of the band members. Last Sunday 4 June 2023 was their album launch event, where the group performed all six pieces on the album, as well as six additional songs, at the Petersham Bowling Club.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can listen to the album either on Spotify, Apple Music, or purchase their album on Bandcamp. Visit\u00a0their website<\/a>\u00a0for more information on how to listen, or if you\u2019re interested in joining.<\/p>\n

Congratulations Maya!<\/p>\n
