The Women's Club invites you for an evening soiree with pioneering Australian/British composer-musician Keyna Wilkins.

Keyna Wilkins was included in The Women's Club's Meet the Artist series in September 2021. Please join us for this very special Friday night evening recital, when Keyna will be playing a curated selection of her own compositions and musical interpretations on The Women's Club's very own baby grand piano.

Keyna was one of three finalists for the Australian Art Music Awards for Individual Excellence in 2021 and 2018 (APRA/AMCOS). As an innovative soloist she has been heralded by UK's Jazz Journal as a 'powerhouse player', and 'particularly fine playing, nuanced and thoughtful' by Limelight Magazine.

Stylistically broad, her solo show explores stream-of-consciousness improvisations alongside her composed pieces often inspired by astronomical phenomena and thoughts. She has performed her solo show around Australia including Phoenix Central Park, MONA, Sydney Women's International Jazz Festival, Melbourne Digital Concert Hall, Australian Piano Pedagogy Conference and many other venues. She has released 4 solo albums on piano and flute.

While classically trained in UK, Germany and Sydney Conservatorium, she has branched into jazz, flamenco, live theatre and has studied intuitive conceptual improvisation with Tibetan Buddhist musician Tenzin Cheogyal. She is also a composer published by Wirripang whose works are performed around the world.
