Merinda Dias-Jayasinha Melodic Fictions + Lena Douglas by ANDA

This single-day vocal music event features Lena Douglas opening with a 40-minute set of experimental songwriting and production, followed by Merinda Dias-Jayasinha's Melodic Fictions, a contemporary choral improvised work performed live by an ensemble of vocalists including Merinda Dias-Jayasinha, Hannah Cameron, Imogen Cygler, Lena Douglas, and Hannah McKittrick. Scheduled for Friday, 17 April 2026, at Northcote Uniting Church Hall from 7:30pm to 10pm AEST, the performance creates expansive, transportive vocal landscapes inspired by Merinda's prior collaborations with dancers. The alcohol-free venue offers seated and standing options with chairs, pillows, couches, and rugs, along with tea varieties. Acknowledging its location on Wurundjeri Land, the event emphasizes imaginative, gestural soundscapes in an intimate church hall setting.
