An invitation
We invite you to discover a wonderful array of music with us in 2026, as we traverse music from 16th Century Baroque Europe through to 21st Century Australia.
Our hugely popular LUNCHBOX CONCERTS are taking place Nipaluna/Hobart, Launceston and Pataway/Burnie in August. In September we return to the mainland to perform SYMPHONIAE SACRAE and TRANSFORMATIONS in Sydney and Parramatta before appearing at the Canowindra Baroque Music Festival.
I look forward to welcoming you to a performance soon.
Julia Fredersdorff
Artistic Director
New single out now
Out now! The first single from our next album is Heinrich Schütz's "Fili mi, absalon", a father's heartrending lament for his son.
Stream or download the album on your favourite platform, or pre-order the Transformations CD from our Shop.
"This is not recreating an imagined past. It’s creating music now ... add performances of the highest calibre and an infectiously enthusiastic stage presence, and you have an ensemble that is a welcome addition to the baroque and beyond conversation."
