Melbourne International Jazz Festival: The Tamil Rogeon Orchestra
18 October @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm AEDT

The violinist, composer, producer and genre-chameleon best known for blending cosmic jazz, hip hop, Brazilian choro, orchestral soul and deep house, takes audiences into his ever-expanding, multi-dimensional universe in this immersive one-off show.
For over two decades, Rogeon has built a colourful body of work – from hip-hop and funk LPs to modal jazz suites, symphonic poems and even an orchestral score for an AFL match. His acclaimed Brazilian song cycle 24 Hours in Lapa sits within a vast catalogue of work which includes projects: The Raah Project, Son of Nyx, Wave Theory and Steady Weather.
Rogeon’s past work has also included composing for the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the Oregon Symphony Orchestra (OSO) and more. As a prolific and highly sought-after arranger, he has worked with some of the biggest names across various corners of the musical map, including The Dandy Warhols, Hanson, Darlene Love, Missy Higgins and Harvey Sutherland.
