Congratulations Ellen Kirkwood
The 2012 recipient of the Jann Rutherford Memorial Award is Sydney trumpeter and composer Ellen Kirkwood.
Ellen’s wealth of curiosity, imagination and musicality has led her to take inspiration from the classic Greek tale of Theseus and the Minotaur.
Her group debuts for SIMA and records at the ABC in September. Other performances are planned for Brisbane and Melbourne.
The Jann Rutherford Memorial Award was founded in 2005 at the instigation of a private benefactor who recognised a need to support young female jazz musicians at the beginning of their professional careers. The award is a professional development opportunity worth up to $8000 to the recipient.
The Award is named in honour of the late jazz pianist Jann Rutherford, and is funded by private donations in partnership with Melbourne Women’s International Jazz Festival (MWIJF), Sydney Improvised Music Association (SIMA), Jazz Queensland and ABC Radio National.
