The lovely Deborah Walker and Silvia Tarozzi are touring Australia this April, and I’m lucky enough to share the bill with them in Chewton on Friday 11th, along with dear friend and colleague Erkki Veltheim. 

Come check out their Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d’amore (songs of war, work and love), with some d’amore/electronics times from me and violin/electronics times from Erkki, or, even better, make a little trip out of it and get along to their collaboration with Anthony Pateras the night before too.

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! 

Be sure to book online as there will be no door sales.

The lovely Mat Watson from Eternal Music Projects has a duo project with Dave Brown, Bush Fashion, that you should definitely check out! Come along to hear my Light Burst duo with Biddy Connor supporting Bus Fashion at Wildflower Picture House (formerly Long Play) this December for some pre-silly-season experimental music.
