Maria Moles (Naarm) + Julius Schwing

Maria Moles is a drummer, composer and producer based in Naarm/Melbourne.

Julius Schwing is an improvising guitarist and composer from Bruny Island, Lutruwita/Tasmania. Born in Vienna, he started playing guitar at age nine and since the age of thirteen has performed extensively throughout Australia and internationally. He has three times been nominated for the Freedman Jazz Fellowship and placed 3rd in the 2022 National Jazz Awards. In 2023 Julius was awarded a state luminary APRA/AMCOS Art Music Award. He has released eleven albums, ten of which are on his own creative music label Isthmus Music. Julius’s distinct improvising style and compositions are heavily influenced by the dramatic natural surroundings of his home on Bruny Island and a life lived in constant contact with this environment.
