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.
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.
Tickets and information here, and don’t forget to check out the whole festival program.
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.
