Lena Douglas + Sara Flindt (DK/Aus)
Australian artist Lena Douglas (keys/piano/vocals) and Danish vocalist, songwriter and improviser Sara Flindt are coming together to present a new, collaborative duo project. Lena and Sara met while studying Masters at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen, and are now developing a show which intertwines abstracted versions of both their songs with two vocals, two keyboards, intricate textures, effects and open improvisatory forms.
Sara Flindt is a Copenhagen/Reykjavík-based musician and composer working between songwriting and avant-garde. With a Masters degree in Music Performance from Rhythmic Music Conservatory (2025) and a Bachelor from the Royal Academy of Music (2020), her work centers on voice and language, exploring the unpredictable, the imperfect and the momentary. Through projects such as her own solo-project, 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 structures and hierarchies in language. 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 festivals such as Roskilde Festival, SPOT, G!Festival, Arctic sound and Iceland Airwaves.
Lena Douglas has a background as a pianist and keyboard player in Melbourne’s band scene, but in recent years has turned her focus to the voice, through sung melodies, vocal sampling, and experimentations with 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 sound. Her debut EP Midnight Commute cemented her as a bold new voice in Australian music, and 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 strongly with audiences, with its launch show at The Gaso Upstairs selling out and receiving airplay and features across Melbourne and national radio.
A first-class graduate of the Jazz and Improvisation Honours program at The University of Melbourne, Maeve’s artistry is shaped by deep musical study and fearless innovation. Her work has already been recognised with significant accolades, including the New Frontiers Award at the 2023 Melbourne Women’s International Jazz Festival and the 2024 LUMINA Composition Award.
Maeve’s career continues to gather momentum in 2025. She is a national finalist in the Emerging Artist category at the Australian Women in Music Awards, is embarking on her first solo East Coast tour, and will share the stage with Australian icon Liz Stringer at the Corner Hotel before returning to the Melbourne Women’s International Jazz Festival. Looking ahead, 2026 will see her debut at two of the country’s leading folk festivals, the Port Fairy Folk Festival and the National Folk Festival.
Maeve continues to push the boundaries of songwriting and performance. Her captivating live shows and distinct artistic voice position her as one of the most exciting new presences in Australian music.
