CONCERT #1 - MINI VDB
Thu 6 August, 1.05pm
CONCERT #2 - CLAIRE EDWARDES
Thu 13 August, 1.05pm
Claire Edwardes OAM is a force of nature in new music. With infectious enthusiasm and the moniker of ‘sorceress of percussion,’ she has built a trailblazing career in new music through extensive commissioning of solo percussion works, championing female composers and gender equity in classical music, and performing around the world for audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
Her unique solo show illuminates these dualities through bold new works, from the shimmering textures of Missy Mazzoli’s Orizzonte, to Claire’s own genre-defying work in collaboration with techno master Paul Mac, Dual Attractor.

CONCERT #3 - MEYERS & YAP
Thu 20 August, 1.05pm
Acclaimed fiddlers Katie Yap and Rachel Meyers bring their new duo project to the Lunchbox Concerts. Together they explore the confluence of folk and baroque music: haunting traditional tunes and songs sit alongside intricate original compositions and their own arrangements of pieces by baroque composers Henry Purcell and Diego Ortiz, all delivered with warmth, humour and undeniable chemistry.
