Nostalgia is a concert of piano music of early twentieth century Australian women composers presented by pianist Jeanell Carrigan.

To remedy this, now in the early twenty-first century, extensive research was undertaken to unearth a plethora of manuscripts through painstaking patience by the pianist and educator, Dr Jeanell Carrigan. In November 2016, 28 of these works were recorded and released on a CD titled Nostalgia, later to become CD of the week on ABC Classic FM.
