It’s been quite a while between international outings for me, so this June I’m off on a particularly special adventure with Australian Art Orchestra to premiere a new work by our fearless AD Aaron Choulai at ARTJOG in Yogyakarta.
I can’t wait to dust off my Indonesian and perform this magical work with my beautiful friends and colleagues.
Tickets and details here, and check out the whole ARTJOG programme – Jogja has a seriously pumping cultural scene. Definitely worth the trip!
If you couldn’t make it to ARTJOG in Yogyakarta in June, then never fear – there’s still time to see AAO perform Aaron Choulai’s magical new work, Smoke Between Mountains. We’ll be presenting the Australian Premiere at Sonic City, and the Immigration Museum this July.
Tickets and details can be found here, and check out the whole Sonic City Programme – lots of great music to sink your teeth into.
I can’t wait to head to delightful Inglewood for two special performances in this year’s Keys of Gold Festival.
Come along to Central Victoria to see some beautiful venues, and hear me play Vivaldi’s Four Seasons accompanied by Central Victoria’s one-man-orchestra extraordinaire, Thomas Heywood on the organ!
For details and tickets, check out the Keys of Gold website here.
My lovely Coomoora Ensemble has been invited to present a programme of J S Bach’s music in the spectacular Inglewood Town Hall. We’ll be presenting two of Bach’s extraordinary Sonatas for Violin and Obbligato Harpsichord with the incredible Ann Morgan at the keyboard, interspersed with movements of the solo ‘cello suites performed by Edwina Cordingley.

My duo project with the inimitable Biddy Connor has been the focus of my past two years, and has brought joy and tears in equal measure. So it is unbelievably excellent that Eternal Music Projects have decided to release it into the world for us.
Mat Watson and the team at EMP are creating a very special and rare place for experimental music in Australia, so you should check out absolutely everything they’re releasing, and buy it all immediately.
If you’re around Melbourne on 10th November, then you can come along to the album launch to hear Biddy and I somehow play all these multi-instrumental/vocal tracks live! Or you can buy the album directly here.
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.
