Kicking off my first year as official concertmaster of Bendigo Symphony with Dvořák’s epic New World Symphony. This was one of those pieces that I always regretted not getting the chance to play in my early orchestra-playing years before heading into chamber music land for a couple of decades, so I’m THRILLED to be playing it with the total legends at BSO.
These guys tend to sell out the 870-seater Ulumbarra Theatre, so book early to avoid disappointment.

It’s been a while in between Make It Up Clubs for me, and a while since I’ve had the great pleasure of performing with the exceptionally excellent Jess Aszodi, so you should probably come check it out this January. It’s a ridiculously amazing line-up.
Details here, and tix at the door.
My gorgeous Coomoora Ensemble with the wonderful Ann Morgan (harpsichord), Alison Catanach (traverso), and Edi Cordingley (‘cello) will be presenting a French programme for Organs of the Ballarat Goldfields Festival in Clunes this January, including Leclair’s extraordinary and epic Deuxième récréation de musique. How often do you get to hear French baroque music performed in country Victoria at 11am on a Monday morning?!
Be sure to book online as there will be no door sales.

The delightful Organs of the Ballarat Goldfields Festival is, very luckily, happening again this year, and I’m thrilled to join e21 for a programme of Charpentier for the opening night concert. This festive and beautiful music will be performed by some of the most extraordinary singers, directed by the inimitable Stephen Grant, and is one not to miss!

It is my great pleasure to announce the upcoming release of my debut solo album The Target Has Disappeared on the brilliant Swiss label Discreet Editions.
The album comprises some of my favourite new works for baroque violin composed by excellent composers and special friends Natasha Anderson, Alexander Garsden, and Sam Smith. We recorded in various stages over the past few years, with lots of pandemic- and life-related interruptions along the way. I’m so humbled that it has all come together, and grateful to my label and the inimitable Clara de Asís and Mara Winter for releasing it into the world.
You can check it out here from April 7th.
