2nd AND FINAL SYDNEY CONCERT
SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE CONCERT HALL – MONDAY MAY 2
Legendary jazz pianist and musical pioneer Herbie Hancock has added an extra Sydney show to his forthcoming national tour this April – May. Hancock will play Brisbane and Melbourne before heading to the Sydney Opera House for two captivating performances.
Herbie Hancock and his band will play the Opera House Concert Hall on Sunday May 1 and now a second and final show on Monday May 2.

Hancock’s natural talent and groundbreaking musical explorations – solo, group and collaborative works –
have produced a jazz career second to none, often regarded as one of the most influential artists of all
time, defying and transcending cultural and musical boundaries.
Herbie Hancock’s band – featuring Greg Phillinganes on keyboards and vocals, James Genus on bass, Trevor Lawrence Jr. on drums and Kristina Train on vocals – will perform new and classic material expected to include: ‘Speak Like A Child’, ‘Chameleon’, ‘Canteloupe Island’, ‘Rockit’ and ‘Round Midnite’.
Arriving in Australia two weeks after his 71st birthday, this year marks Hancock’s 50th year as a professional musician.
