Linda May Han Oh with the Wednesday Night Orchestra

July 13, 7:30 pm - 8:45 pm

$25 – $70

LINDA MAY HAN OH WITH WAYJO’S WEDNESDAY NIGHT ORCHESTRA

“…her innovative range and stellar improvisations have made [her] one of the most dynamic rising stars in jazz today.”

The Wall Street Journal

Experience award-winning bassist/composer Linda May Han Oh as she graces Boorloo (Perth) for a special one-night performance with the WA Youth Jazz Orchestra (WAYJO).

Renowned globally for her exceptional talent, versatility and dedication to music education, Linda returns to WAYJO after being inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2023. From her beginnings as an orchestra member where she was awarded the Bob Wyllie Scholarship for best graduation recitalist, to winning a Grammy for her bass performance on Terri Lyne Carrington’s ‘New Standards Vol. 1’, Linda’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

Now based in New York City, she is returning to perform her original compositions with WAYJO’s Wednesday Night Orchestra, under the musical direction of Gemma Farrell and Bayden Adams.

From her acclaimed quintet album ‘The Glass Hours’ to being animated as bassist ‘Miho’ in Pixar’s ‘Soul’ film, Linda’s influence is undeniable.

Join us for an exceptional evening of jazz with one of the most in-demand musicians of our time.

Linda May Han Oh appears thanks to Minderoo Foundation’s support for WAYJO’s Guest Artist Program 2024.
