The Williamstown International Jazz Festival (WIJF) returns this October with its Spring Series 2026 – Australian Jazz Legacy, bringing some of Australia's most significant jazz musicians to Williamstown for an intimate weekend of concerts, improvisation and artistic exchange.
Taking place on 9 and 10 October 2026, the Spring Series celebrates the continuing legacy of Australian jazz while connecting established artists with emerging generations of improvising musicians.
The program features acclaimed pianist Paul Grabowsky and celebrated vocalist Michelle Nicolle, alongside the remarkable collective Tony Gould, Eugene Ball and Nick Haywood. The series also welcomes award-winning New Zealand pianist Umar Zakaria, performing with Melbourne musicians Joel Trigg and Paul Withwood.

The workshop reflects WIJF's ongoing commitment to education, participation and artistic exchange beyond the concert stage.
