ACCLAIMED musician, composer and educator Professor Rob McWilliams is set to bring his world-class jazz ensemble to the Sunshine Coast, performing at The Jazz Sessions at The Presynct in Nambour on Thursday, 20 March.
Mr McWilliams has had an illustrious career spanning decades, beginning as a professional musician in Melbourne, where he performed with artists such as Wilbur Wilde and Paul Grabowsky.
His expertise and passion for music took him to the United States, where he became Professor of Music at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, and later served as Head of Music. An internationally recognised educator, McWilliams has presented at major music conferences across the world. His performance resume is equally impressive, having played alongside jazz luminaries such as Nat Adderley, Vincent Herring, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Eddie Daniels and Dale Barlow.
Now based in Australia, he continues to compose, arrange and perform, maintaining a deep connection with audiences through his dynamic and engaging style. For his upcoming performance in Nambour, McWilliams will be joined by a stellar lineup of Brisbane and Sunshine Coast musicians, delivering unique interpretations of jazz standards alongside his original compositions.
