Mara! Big Band toured Regional NSW in November 2024 with the support of Create NSW and Regional Arts Victoria!
We are extremely grateful to Create NSW Regional Touring Fund for their support to help cover the cost of the Mara! Big Band Mid-Nth Coast, Southern Tablelands & Central West NSW Tour in November 2024 to promote the CD of our original Australian suite 'Zashto?'.
In addition, we are delighted to acknowlege Regional Arts Victoria who generously offered funding to Jarnie Brimingham (the Mara! Big Band's Victorian based singer) to support her participation in the tour. Without this vital support, the tour would not have been possible.
It is many years since the Mara! Quintet last toured the NSW Mid-Nth Coast, so we are delighted to be able to bring our newest project, The Mara! Big Band up to this beautiful part of the country and to re-connect with our friends and followers up there.
The Mara! Big Band, as the name suggests, is an expanded version of the Mara! Band, featuring 13 of Australia's finest jazz and world music practitioners. Tours on this scale to regional communities are simply not possible without assistance through sponsorship and funding, because of the high touring costs.
We are eternally grateful to both Create NSW and Regional Arts Victoria for supporting us in mounting this long overdue tour which also included concerts in Bathurst and Gulgong in Central Western NSW.
Apart from the concerts we had the pleasure and privilege of working with some local young musicians, through a workshop organised through Newcastle Conservatorium.
This project is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW and by the Victorian Government through Regional Arts Victoria
