I’m honoured to be part of the ensemble for the piece by legendary Mutti Mutti, Yorta Yorta and Nari Nari Songman Kutcha Edwards to celebrate the reopening of the refurbished State Theatre.

Astra concerts are always a smorgasbord of interesting music from across eras, and this October’s outing is no different. I’ll be appearing in an arrangement of Händel’s Chandos Arias, as well as the world premiere of a new work by Allan Walker, Things, based on three ‘proémes’ by Francis Ponge.
It’s going to be a special one, so be sure to book early to not miss out.
Details and tickets available via Astra’s website, or here.
The wattles are out in Central Victoria, and Bendigo Symphony Orchestra will present our third concert for the year this Spring. Continuing our Beethoven piano concerto series with the incredible Elyane Laussade, we’ll also be playing the Tchaikovsky’s epic fourth symphony.
By this point, I probably don’t even need to mention that we usually sell out, but we do, so get in early to avoid missing out!

It’s almost Melbourne International Jazz Festival time, and this year, Australian Art Orchestra will be assembling as a full orchestra to realise Aaron Choulai’s new work Saltwater, Sugar. Aaron’s last two new works for AAO were EPIC, so be sure to book early.

I’m thrilled to be heading back to Broadford to perform a programme of incredible 18th-Century Germanic music with the talented Meredith Beardmore and Peter Hagen. This repertoire is so well-crafted, and perfectly suited to Peter’s extraordinary home concert hall. Works by CPE Bach, Graun, Janitsch, and Quantz, including a rare outing for my viola d’amore!
Tickets are available here.
It’s always a delight to go on a sunny Winter road trip out West, and there’s no better place than Dunkeld. Coomorra Ensemble is heading to the Myers Private Gallery this August for a programme of Telemann’s extremely excellent Paris Quartets.
We’re making an afternoon of it, so you can hear a solo recital by the fabulous David MacFarlane, have a glass of Glühwein in the garden, then hear our performance, all the while perusing a very fine collection of renaissance artworks.
Details and tickets can be found here.
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.
