Experience James Morrison live on November 15th

James Morrison will perform at the State Theatre in Sydney, Australia on November 15, 2026. Morrison is an Australian jazz and popular music saxophonist, trumpeter, composer and bandleader. His musical style is characterized by a blend of jazz improvisation with elements of funk, soul, and pop, often featuring energetic performances and virtuosic instrumental skill. He initially gained prominence in the early 1990s and has since released numerous albums and collaborated with a diverse range of artists internationally.

The State Theatre opened in 1929 as part of the Union Theatres chain. Designed by Henry White, the theatre is noted for its opulent interior, heavily influenced by Egyptian and Mediterranean architectural styles. It was originally conceived as a venue for both live performances and film screenings; hosting premieres and significant events throughout its history. The building underwent substantial restoration work in the 1980s to preserve its original features.

Today, the State Theatre continues to host a variety of performances including concerts, ballet, opera, musicals and comedy shows. It is listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register and remains a prominent landmark within Sydney’s cultural landscape due to its historical significance and architectural grandeur.
