Lord Mayor's City Hall Concerts presents the Mariana Verna Quintet.
This concert will be ASLAN interpreted.
Mariana Verna is an up-and-coming jazz and contemporary singer in Meanjin, Brisbane, with nearly 10 years of performing under her belt. Studying at Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University sparked her love of jazz, after growing up in a household that supported her interest in music since she first played the piano at age 6.
Some highlights of her career include performing with Australian legends John Farnham, Katie Noonan and Kate Cebrano at the Southbank Piazza as part of the 2017 Brisbane Music Festival and performing at Fortitude Music Hall in support of the Carer’s Foundation as part of the 2024 Unsung Heroes Event. Mariana has also been incredibly lucky to perform at iconic Brisbane venues such The Burrow, The Walrus Club, and QPAC.
Her influences include vocalists Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, April Varner, Julie London, and Kurt Elling, fostering a love of Vocalese in which lyrics are set to a pre-existing instrumental solo. Mariana is thrilled to be a part of the 2025 Lord Mayor City Hall Concert, featuring some of Brisbane’s best jazz musicians.
This Lord Mayor's City Hall Concert is produced by Evolution Productions.
