Description
Brass meets brilliance as the WA Youth Jazz Orchestra (WAYJO) brings Brooklyn-based trumpeter Chloe Rowlands to Perth for a show at The Ellington Jazz Club.
Known for her performances on some of the world’s biggest stages including the Hollywood Bowl, Monterey Jazz Festival, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert – Chloe Rowlands (USA) brings her incredible talent, impeccable technique, and “extroverted approach to playing trumpet” to this intimate space.
A multi-talented musician, composer, arranger, and educator, Chloe has collaborated with an impressive array of artists, including Fleet Foxes and Manhattan Transfer. For this performance, she has selected a repertoire that highlights her exceptional trumpet skills, curated in collaboration with WAYJO’s artistic director Mace Francis. The evening will feature works by Thad Jones, Ed Partyka, Jim McNeely, and some unexpected pieces, alongside music composed by Charlie Rosen of the GRAMMY-winning The 8-Bit Big Band, specially arranged for Chloe. She’ll be joined on stage by WAYJO’s premier 18-piece Wednesday Night Orchestra.
Chloe Rowlands isn’t just a phenomenal musician, she’s also a proud queer trans woman breaking boundaries and inspiring audiences around the world. Her versatility spans a wide range of musical styles from jazz and classical to Appalachian folk, as showcased in her acclaimed brass quartet, The Westerlies - just one example of Chloe’s innovative approach to music.
