THE MWIJF FESTIVAL SEXTET

Presented in partnership with The Mietta Foundation

The MWIJF has a long history of bringing together a sextet of outstanding female/gender diverse musicians to present their original works and is delighted to announce the return of this project with support of major partner The Mietta Foundation.

Each of the musicians in this group is an outstanding band leader and multi-collaborator in their own right, and this performance marks the first time that they all share the stage together.
Previous line ups have included Sandy Evans, Nadje Noordhuis, Belinda Moody, Shannon Barnett, Gian Slater, Xani Kolac, Kristin Berardi and many others.

The stellar 2026 lineup is led by Andrea Keller (piano) with Angela Davis (sax), Cheryl Durongpisitkul (sax), Ashley Ballat (trumpet), Peggy Lee (cello) and Kyrie Anderson (drums).
