Piano Stories - An Original Piano Vocal Concert by Ash Morse
2025-03-09 16:00 - 17:30 UTC | Central Coast Conservatorium of Music, 45 Mann St, Gosford, NSW, 2250, Australia
Piano Stories by Ash Morse at Robert Knox Hall, Central Coast Conservatorium
Fans of original music will be spoiled by this intimate evening of piano vocal recital by Ash
Morse, all performed live on the grand piano in Robert Knox Hall, Central Coast
Conservatorium of Music, accompanied by the studio recorded soundtracks for his more
advanced, cinematic and orchestral compositions, which feature performances of real bass,
drums, pianos, guitars, cello and multi-layered vocal harmonies.
Ash Morse is an Australian independent singer/songwriter/composer from Hornsby Shire,
who loves deep stories and telling them through music. He writes in a variety of genres, from
piano ballads to full orchestral, cinematic scores and doesn’t shy away from intense
emotions, whether they are joyful, painful or deeply nostalgic.
Whether you love to be lost in the music or lost in the narrative, there is a rich sonic and
lyrical tapestry to be immersed in with as many layers deep as you are willing to be
transported.
The performance will include selection from Ash most recent albums:
Cinematic/orchestral “To Go Home”, nostalgic, heartfelt piano/vocal “Family Ties” and more
cheerful, sunny EP “Sunny Haven Avenue”.
You will also hear the unique ‘Dream Machine”, which was partly released as radio edit in
2023, reached the top 40 in the prestigious Vanda and Young international competition, and
claimed the grand prize for the IYMC International Composer’s competition.
Quotes from ‘Dream Machine” ASA review by Brian Henderson Ward:
“An incredible mix of melodies featuring so many key, time and mood changes. It is more
complex than Bohemian Rhapsody and feels like a huge theatre production. An outstanding
vocal performance along with fabulous harmonies. The musicianship was genius.”
“Dream Machine” is part of Ash Morse future 2025 album, ‘Nowhere Land’, his biggest, and
most ambitious project yet.

About The Event
Join us for an intimate evening of original music and storytelling by Ash Morse, all performed live by the piano!
Ash Morse’s music ranges from delicate and intricate piano vocal to grand and orchestral. Each song tells aspects of his life and internal world and is related through both musical and lyrical theme. Whether you love to be lost in the music or lost in the narrative, there is a rich sonic and lyrical tapestry to be immersed in with as many layers deep as you are willing to be transported. Though you may have heard the whimsical moment-capturing and powerful storytelling of Tim Freedman and the soaring, ethereal, almost tortured beauty of Jeff Buckley, you won’t have been completely prepared for the experience of being in a room as Ash begins to perform.
Come join us at historic and beautiful Robert Knox Hall at the Gosford Conservatorium for an intimate evening of music and storytelling. Sit back, relax, and let Ash’s original compositions transport you to another world. This in person event promises to be a night filled with beautiful melodies and captivating tales.

LEGENDS IN THE MAKING
CB Ghost & The Cat Snatchers
Two of the Central Coast’s best live bands join forces to bring their unique live shows for the first time on one special night at the Avoca Beach Theatre.
CB Ghost
Described by Scenestr magazine as “Oasis meets Jack Johnson with Chris Cornell feels,” CB Ghost and his amazing band are blazing a trail across the East Coast with their live shows. Performing hip swinging tunes including his latest Single Beautiful Middle Finger along with debut single, Hollywood Hills and the more sombre Hold Down Hymn. This powerhouse song writer and his band deliver an unforgettable live experience that’s equal parts raw emotion, energy, and musical magic. Crafting a sonic blend of alternative, blues and folk rock, likened to “A mix of Elvis, Bob Dylan and Jack Johnson”, by Sarah King live on Coast FM (after CB played live in studio). The band’s live set is filled with singalong choruses anchored by feel-good drum beats that wash over like ocean waves. The music invites you in and captures your heart and soul (and your dancing shoes). This show will make you laugh, cry, and dance the night away.
The Cat Snatchers are the freshest band coming out of the Central Coast, founded by songwriters Arthur Pratt and Toby Wells. If you love music with feel-good vibes delivered in a fun and entertaining manner – do not miss this band. The Cat Snatchers are making a name for themselves as one of the best live bands Central Coast have ever produced – and deservingly so. TCS are looking to bring back the sounds of the 70’s and 80’s, the lads like to play anything from smooth soul to stadium rock bangers. Fans of Queen, Stevie Wonder and TOTO – they can assure you will boogie.
