Rock classics and pop anthems reimagined
Australian Premiere and Festival Exclusive
Join us for a special opening night celebration showcasing the leading lights of Australian jazz and soul in the opulent surrounds of St Kilda’s Palais Theatre.

Inspired by the long tradition of jazz artists redefining rock songs and pop anthems, Everybody Wants to Rule the World features three of the country’s finest vocalists reinterpreting era-defining works such as House of the Rising Sun, Yellow Taxi and Sunshine of Your Love.

Making waves with her 2012 ARIA-award winning album Close Your Eyes, vocalist/pianist Sarah McKenzie is emerging as a once-in-a-generation talent renowned for her sublime musicianship. Joining her is formidable jazz vocalist and improviser, Michelle Nicolle, and special guest Mahalia Barnes, bringing her signature brand of gutsy soul, rock and blues to the stage in style.

Don't miss this evening of timeless repertoire as you’ve never heard it before.
