Viaggio Duo

Viaggio Duo is a Perth jazz and world-music project with classical and jazz training behind both performers. Their first program, Journey into Australia, explores the country's multicultural musical life by bringing traditional music from different parts of the world into a jazz setting. Standards also form part of the repertoire. Both members are university-trained professional musicians with substantial orchestral and chamber experience, so the duo's arrangements draw on ensemble discipline as well as improvisation. The concept is less about presenting one country's music in isolation and more about hearing several traditions through a shared jazz language. It suits audiences interested in acoustic detail, musical travel and thoughtful arrangements.
