Greta Williams Quartet

A graduate of the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music and Performance at Monash University and Winner of the Geoffrey Whitelaw Emerging Composition Scholarship (2024) and the Bornstein Vocal Scholarship (2024), Greta Williams is an emerging vocalist, and composer whose work pairs intimate, collage-like lyrics with subtle musical prosody. 

With a unique background in both classical and contemporary voice, Greta has performed with a range of acclaimed Australian ensembles, including Invenio Singers and the Choir of Trinity College. During her studies she shared the stage with Australian luminaries, Paul Grabowsky, Jamie Oehlers, Nat Bartsch and others, and  featured on the recording, Paul Grabowsky: Monash Sessions (2024).  Most recently, her composition, I said the Sparrow, was performed by the Monash Art Ensemble as part of their 2025 Melbourne International Jazz Festival program. 
Bringing new tunes exploring love, loss, and identity, Greta will be joined by:
Benjamin Attiche - Guitar, 
Jordan Tarento - Bass, and 
Patrick Sarajew, Drums.
