About This Event
RISING: Kahil El’zabar - An Afternoon of Rhythm & Wine takes place at 314 Maroondah Highway in Healesville on Sunday, 7 June 2026 at 4:00 PM. The event presents a rare solo afternoon with jazz artist Kahil El’zabar as part of RISING at a winery with musical roots.
El’zabar has performed for more than 50 years with the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble and has released 18 albums. His sets draw connections between jazz, R&B, funk and gospel, alongside African folk and dance traditions. In this intimate session of stories and songs, he weaves percussion, voice and memory into a performance that traces jazz history and spirit.
Your ticket includes a glass of Giant Steps Circle of Fifths Chardonnay or Pinot Noir. Shared grazing platters are served throughout the performance, and additional wines are available for purchase by the glass and bottle.
The venue takes its name from John Coltrane’s composition Giant Steps, and its Circle of Fifths wine range is named in reference to the relationship between music and wine.
