Acclaimed ARIA-nominated ethno-jazz band, Zela Margossian Quintet, take their new album, ‘Remedy’, on the road in December 2026 and February 2027.

After having impressed audiences globally with showcase performances at the EFG London Jazz Festival, Sydney Festival, Wellington Jazz Festival, Sydney International Women’s Jazz Festival, Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues, and Perth International Jazz Festival, and presenting their unique blend of multi-cultural jazz in celebrated performances at venues from The Barbican to the Sydney Opera House, the ZMQ will be plying their trade on smaller local stages.

Comprised of multi-cultural musicians from the cream of Sydney’s vibrant jazz scene, the Zela Margossian Quintet create an exotic musical atmosphere with original works carrying influences from traditional Armenian folk music and European classical music.

Released on the legendary US label, Ropeadope, ‘Remedy’ is the Zela Margossian Quintet’s third album, a deeply personal collection shaped by reflection, transformation and emotional resilience. It continues their journey through richly textured progressive world jazz and sets Margossian apart as a product of her own unique constellation of influences and lived experiences.

The tour’s first leg in 2026 includes shows at Camelot in Marrickville, The Street Theatre in Canberra, Concerts Across the Lawn in Wombarra, and the JazzLab in Melbourne (for the Melbourne Women’s International Jazz Festival.)
