    Jones & Grabowsky: Provenance – 10 Years On

    A magical evening of jazz with two of Australia’s most celebrated musicians

    In 2015, two of Australia’s most revered musicians, Vince Jones and Paul Grabowsky, joined forces to create Provenance, an exquisite album of jazz-infused ballads. The album won Best Jazz Album at the 2016 ARIA Awards. Now, ten years later, they’re returning to celebrate with a special anniversary concert as part of Festival of Voices 2025.

    Vince Jones, celebrated for the beauty of his distinctive voice, captivates audiences with his soulful singing and expressive trumpet playing. Paul Grabowsky, a pianist and composer of extraordinary talent, brings his virtuosity and artistry to the duo, cementing his place as one of Australia’s most influential jazz musicians with seven ARIA Awards to his name.

    Their connection on stage is effortless—an unspoken musical conversation that transforms each song into something deeply personal and profound. Their shared love of jazz as an art form and music more broadly is immediately evident. Their mutual respect and praise for each other’s consummate artistry allow magic to lift each song into a unique experience for the listener.

    It is partially the seeming effortlessness with which these two musicians interact that makes it sound so damn good. – The Music Trust.

    This performance will feature a collection of their favourites from Provenance, including Lennon’s ‘Oh My Love’ and ‘We’ve Only Just Begun’, as well as new material from their upcoming second album. Among these new works is ‘Dear Julian (Assange)’, a poignant and timely composition that reflects their continued artistic evolution.

    Don’t miss this extraordinary reunion—an unforgettable night of memories, melody, and warmth. Book now and be part of history as Vince and Paul celebrate Provenance, ten years on, for Festival of Voices’ 20th anniversary.

    Jones’s undoubted vocal expression was aided by two things: Paul Grabowsky superb piano accompaniment and Jones’s penchant for breaking the words into jazz intervals as his tenor voice flowed following those improvised notes up and down, whilst maintaining the lyrics’ sense. – John McBeath, The Advertiser.

    Our pricing model

    As a non-profit, we prioritise bringing singing and music to our communities, not maximising income. We work to make our ticket prices as affordable as possible, and we’ve shifted to an early bird pricing model instead of concession pricing. This change focuses on equity, allowing everyone to secure tickets at a reduced price and helping us keep the festival accessible to as many people as possible.

    Each event will have a set number of tickets available at the early bird price. Once these are sold, standard prices will apply. This ensures we can cover event costs while keeping the festival sustainable and maintaining affordable options for our audiences.
