The Enchanted Island, Van Diemen’s Band, 10 Days on the Island Festival – 16th March 2019

After a truly epic Tasmanian adventure in February, involving a boat and a chamber organ and a dodgy car battery, I’ll be taking the plane to Tassie this March for the awesome 10 Days on the Island Festival. Come and enjoy a glass or two of vino and listen to Van Diemen’s Band playing the glorious music of Händel!

Music & Murder, Harken Well, Castlemaine State Festival – 26th March 2019

In my final outing at the Castlemaine State Festival, Harken Well will be premiering our Music & Murder programme featuring music written by terrible people. This concert will be presented in two parts: half Renaissance consort and half Baroque trio sonatas.

Harken Well are joined by two very special multi-instrument-wielding guests, John Weretka on harpsichord, tenor viol and voice and Lucy Price on baroque ‘cello and bass viol.

Duetti stravaganti, ASTRA – 31st March 2019

How exciting to be joining my highly esteemed duo partner, the very excellent Ann Morgan, for a programme celebrating fantastical things from the early baroque. Ann and I have been rehearsing up a storm in the country and there are two more duos on the programme: Erkki Veltheim and Anthony Pateras, and Erkki and Simone de Haan, so you should definitely come along.
