Sydney International Women's Jazz Festival

Multiple Music Venues

SIMA's flagship presentation, The Sydney International Women's Jazz Festival, will celebrate its landmark 15th anniversary this year with an extraordinary program of international and Australian artists pushing the boundaries of jazz, improvisation, and contemporary music. Since its inception, SIWJF has become one of Australia's most vital platforms for celebrating women and gender-diverse artists in jazz and improvised music, championing innovation, excellence, and artistic exchange on a global scale. Across Sydney this October, the festival will present three groundbreaking headline performances – legendary vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater, Grammy Award-winning pianist Kris Davis, and acclaimed poet and musician aja monet – alongside leading Australian and international collaborators. Further program announcements for the Sydney International Women's Jazz Festival will be revealed in coming months.
