Lena Douglas / Sara Flindt
Lena Douglas – keys, piano, vocals
Sara Flindt – vocals, keys
Australian artist Lena Douglas and Danish vocalist, songwriter, and improviser Sara Flindt come together to present a new collaborative duo project. The pair met while studying their Master’s degrees at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen and are now developing a show that intertwines abstracted versions of both their songs. The performance features two vocals, two keyboards, intricate textures, layered effects, and open improvisatory forms.
Sara Flindt (DK)
Sara Flindt is a Copenhagen/Reykjavík–based musician and composer working at the intersection of songwriting and the avant-garde. With a Master’s degree in Music Performance from the Rhythmic Music Conservatory (2025) and a Bachelor from the Royal Academy of Music (2020), her work explores voice and language—embracing the unpredictable, the imperfect, and the momentary.
Through projects such as her solo work, the duo slóra, and collaborations with Guðmundur Arnalds (IS) and Szymon Wójcik (PL), she has developed improvisatory approaches to voice and text that challenge conventional musical and linguistic structures. In 2022, Flindt released the split album While We Wait with Icelandic artists Salóme Katrín and RAKEL, which was nominated for Album of the Year at the Iceland Music Awards. She has performed at major festivals including Roskilde Festival, SPOT, G!Festival, Arctic Sound, and Iceland Airwaves.
Lena Douglas (AUS)
Lena Douglas has a background as a pianist and keyboard player in Melbourne’s vibrant band scene. In recent years, she has turned her focus toward voice—experimenting with sung melodies, vocal sampling, and the creative use of autotune. Her 2024 release, Stockerz, showcases her collage-like approach to form, blending acoustic textures, pop energy, and intricate harmonic progressions.

Maeve Grieve is a Melbourne-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose music fuses jazz, folk, and alternative rock into a distinctive, expressive sound. Her debut EP Midnight Commute established her as one of Australia’s bold new voices in contemporary music, earning widespread airplay and critical attention. She was recently named a finalist in the 2025 Australian Women in Music Awards Emerging Artist category.
The winner of the MWIJF 2024 Lumina Composition Prize, Maeve combines intricate guitar work with evocative, narrative-driven songwriting. Her debut EP Midnight Commute (released November 13, 2024) resonated deeply with audiences—its launch show at The Gaso Upstairs sold out and received national radio play.
A first-class graduate of the Jazz and Improvisation Honours Program at the University of Melbourne, Maeve’s artistry is rooted in deep musical study and fearless innovation. Her career has already been recognised with major accolades, including the New Frontiers Award at the 2023 Melbourne Women’s International Jazz Festival and the 2024 LUMINA Composition Award.
In 2025, Maeve’s momentum continues to build. She is a national finalist at the Australian Women in Music Awards, embarking on her first solo East Coast tour, and sharing the stage with Australian icon Liz Stringer at the Corner Hotel. Looking ahead to 2026, she will make her debut at two of Australia’s premier folk festivals: the Port Fairy Folk Festival and the National Folk Festival.
Maeve’s live performances are known for their captivating intimacy and depth, positioning her as one of the most exciting new presences in Australian music.
