🎻 Artist Spotlight | Ye Jin Min

Violinist, composer, conductor and creative force Dr Ye Jin Min joins us for Ooh là là! this November.

From the Sydney Conservatorium to Yale, and concert stages across Australia, the United States and Europe, Ye Jin has built an impressive international career.

She has performed with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the New World Symphony, where she frequently served as Concertmaster and Assistant Concertmaster, and has appeared at major international festivals including the Lucerne Festival, Spoleto Festival USA and Davos Festival.

But performance is only part of her musical world. Ye Jin is also a composer, conductor, producer and educator, and the founder and Artistic Director of Unboxed Musicians, an award-winning contemporary-classical venture bringing together new music, interdisciplinary projects and creative collaboration.

With a Doctor of Musical Arts and Master of Music from the Yale School of Music, Ye Jin brings both formidable musicianship and a wonderfully broad creative perspective to this year’s Festival.

🇫🇷 Festival Artist Spotlight | Louise Blackwell

Paris comes to Albury with Louise Blackwell, chanteuse and leading lady of the French Set.

Louise lived in France for ten years, studying cinema in Lyon and Paris before immersing herself in the Paris jazz scene, where she studied with jazz singers Sara Lazarus and Michèle Hendricks and recorded three albums with pianist Vincent Bourgeyx and trio.

Back in Australia, she brought that experience to Louise Blackwell and the French Set, celebrating the great French songbook with performances that have developed a strong following in Adelaide and interstate. Their award-winning Fringe seasons have included A Night in Paris I & II and From Paris with Love, while Louise’s Love on the Left Bank: Juliette Gréco, the muse of Saint Germain des Prés premiered to critical acclaim at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival.

This year she returns to the Adelaide Cabaret Festival with A FRENCH ROMANCE — before bringing a little of that unmistakable Parisian atmosphere to Ooh là là! in Albury.

Louise appears at our Albury Club Gala.

🎟 Festival Passes are available now.
