Mosaic + Woolgathering: ‘Rinse and Repeat’ Album Launch Tour

Mosaic is a vibrant 10-piece contemporary jazz ensemble rapidly emerging as an exciting force in the Sydney jazz scene. The band performs and premieres original compositions written specifically for the ensemble by Australian composers under 25, resulting in a uniquely youthful and energetic sound.

Led by Lee Orszaczky (trombone), Mosaic brings together a dynamic group of young musicians:

Braden Clarke (flugelhorn) Sarah Morrisson (trumpet) Ravi Trachenberg-Ray (piano) James Watt (bass) Noah Meija and Leo Marland (saxophones) Matt Simmonds (drums) Cailey Soon (trombone)

Mosaic will release their highly anticipated second album, Rinse and Repeat, in May 2026. With the assistance of Creative Australia, the record features interstate collaborations with brilliant young composers from Melbourne, along with guest vocalists Leah Reinhardt (Lapis) and Liz Player (The Voice 2023).

Their debut album, Where We Are Now, is a compilation of new compositions written specifically for Mosaic by members of the band and commissioned from emerging Australian composers including Sarah Purdon, Thnvir Gill, and Gabriella Hill.

Where We Are Now debuted at #2 on the ARIA Jazz & Blues Charts and #5 on the AIR Independent Albums Charts.

Mosaic has held a year-and-a-half-long residency at Sydney’s premier jazz venue Foundry616, and has performed at major festivals across New South Wales including the Sydney Conservatorium Jazz Festival, the Manly Jazz Festival, and the Wangaratta Jazz Festival. In addition, Mosaic were the 2024 2MBS Fine Music Sydney Artists in Residence.
