Emily-Rose & The Wild feat. Parvyn and Ofri
Three superbly individual voices in songwriting and musical exploration come together in a
dream collaboration with a string trio. Emily-Rose and Parvyn are widely celebrated in the
jazz and folk scenes of Australia for their shape-shifting, spellbinding work. They are joined
by the stunning gifts of Ofri, a young Sydney based pianist and songwriter with a striking,
wild voice and compositions that match.
Weaving textures of voice, piano, strings and synths, they move between one another’s
songs, traveling through landscapes inspired by nature, psychology, human yearning and
experiences that are deeply familiar to us all. Joining them are Holly Downes (double bass),
Chris Stone (Violin) and Catie Alsion (Cello).
Emily-Rose, recently returned from touring UK and Canada, has curated this collaboration
out of deep respect for Parvyn and Ofri’s work and a yearning to connect with artists who
refuse to sit comfortably in a box. She has been a finalist for Best Jazz Work at the Art Music
Awards, finalist for an ARIA award for her work with Chaika, and writes music of incredible
cinematic scope.
Parvyn recently was winner of Best Jazz Album at the Australian Independent Record
Awards, and, akin to Emily-Rose, always has many influences seep through her music. Her
Punjabi and Sikh heritage mixed with Australian upbringing, combined with her love for soul,
folk and jazz, results in a dreamy kaleidoscope of sounds.
The beautiful thing about having Ofri complete the trio, is that her relationship with
Emily-Rose tracks back to her 8 year old self, being her student in piano and traversing the
rocky road through high school, university and covid, to becoming one of Australia’s most
exciting young voices is music. We aren’t biased - come and see for yourself.
