My delightful Coomoora Ensemble will be heading out West to Dunkeld for a concert of French baroque music including Leclair’s epic Deuxième récréation de musique. Come and have a weekend at the luxurious Royal Mail Hotel, and enjoy some beautiful music in the stunning surrounds of the Myers Private Gallery.
Shame File Music and Dimensions of Incomprehensibilities are presenting some amazing experimental music at the Merri Creek Tavern this year, and I’m thrilled to be playing with my duo project with the incomparable Jess Aszodi this August.
After presenting our concert of French baroque music at the glorious Royal Mail Hotel in Dunkeld, the delightful Coomoora Ensemble will bring the programme to the cosy Castlemaine Uniting Church Hall. Three out of four of our members live on Djaara country, so it’s an honour to present this music in my hometown. Come and check out 18th-C masterpieces by Boismortier, Blavet, Jacquet de la Guerre, and Forqueray, topped off with Leclair’s epic Deuxième récréation de musique.

BSO’s third season for 2025 presents works from the height of 19th-C romanticism including Rachmaninov’s famous second piano concerto featuring Amir Farid as soloist, and Brahm’s incredible second symphony. This will be a particularly special event as we’re joined by my delightful colleagues from Resonance String Orchestra in a performance of Verdi’s Overture from Nabucco.
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.
