Award-winning jazz singer Nishla Smith (UK) brings her trio to St Stephen's Macquarie St for an evening of song. Joined by some of the city’s foremost musicians, Nishla will perform her “darkly gorgeous” original songs (Downbeat USA) threaded through with a selection of some of the 20th century’s best-loved standards.

Nishla is an artist driven by a desire to tell stories. Nishla is a Peter Whittingham Jazz Award, International Songwriting Competition and UK Theatre Award winner, and an alumni of London Jazz Festival’s flagship Take Five programme. Her debut album, ‘Friends With Monsters’, was released on Whirlwind Recordings to critical acclaim.

  • “Her voice is exquisite, a symbol of unreachable beauty.” – The Guardian

  • “While Smith’s singing is an entrancing beauty all its own, the true trump cards are her lyrics and melodies.” – Downbeat USA
