Chaika

ARIA nominated ensemble melding the earthiness of folk with the dexterity of jazz and craft of classical, Chaika’s vast influences create superb genre-blending music that transcends labels… “like a gust of wind ushering in a new season of possibilities” (What’s on Sydney) they are steadily forging a new direction in Australian music. Described as “spine-tingling” (Rhythms) and “extraordinary” (Fine Music FM), the Sydney-based sextet surprise, thrill and move the unsuspecting listener, from the environs of folk festivals to the world-class Sydney City Recital Hall. Don’t miss the chance to see this mind bending, world class act on their first visit to Launceston.
