Sydney songwriter Laura Jean returns to the stage to launch her long-awaited forthcoming album, Amateurs.

Revered for the striking beauty of her music and the strength of her piercing, intimate lyrics, Laura will perform with her full band alongside members of Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra.

This stunning, string-laden performance will bring an orchestral colour to the synths and spiralling grooves of Laura’s music.

Featuring vocals from Aldous Harding and Marlon Williams, Amateurs is a mystical midway point between the deep synth-pop of Laura’s last album, Devotion, and the folkier sounds of her earlier work.

“Maybe the sharpest communication of the spooky, all-consuming nature of feminine love” – Lorde
