Alma Zygier is bewitching and idiosyncratic. The Melbourne born jazz and blues performer brings grit and grime to her vocals. Playful and peculiar, Alma portrays her power and fragility simultaneously at every turn bringing an emotional maturity to her performance that belies her years.

‘Xavier de Maistre is a virtuoso of the highest order’ – Gramophone
One of today’s leading harpists, Xavier de Maistre is renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to classical music. With a fierce dedication to his instrument, critics have lauded Xavier de Maistre as ‘a virtuoso of the highest order, profoundly musical and capable of realising a remarkable range of nuance’ (Gramophone). Born in Toulon, Xavier studied the harp with Vassilia Briano at his local conservatoire, before perfecting his technique to then become the first French musician to be admitted at the Wiener Philharmoniker. Collaborating with revered conductors like Sir André Previn and Sir Simon Rattle, he has graced prestigious orchestras worldwide, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Having released a series of acclaimed albums, including Nuit d’Etoiles dedicated to Debussy, Xavier’s innovative approach makes him a true luminary in the field.
In an exclusive Australian recital, witness Xavier challenge traditional harp music through daring commissions and reimagined instrumental classics. From the rippling arpeggios and intricate harmonies of Debussy’s beloved ‘Two Arabesques, L.66’, to Henriette Renié’s enchanting Romantic masterpiece Legende d’après les Elfes, don’t miss this awe-inspiring performance marking the first time a harp has been featured as a solo instrument in the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall.

Brittle Sun​ are a bluesy, folk alt country soul band from Melbourne. With soulful vocals that are as fragile as they are powerful, they weave lyrical narrative with stripped back grooves and evocative melodies. They are thrilled to be launching their new CD, and their new single ‘Words in the Dirt’ at the Retreat Hotel.
Taylor Project are renowned for their “folk music with factoids” or “nerd folk”. The band is built around twin sisters Liz Taylor and Sarah Taylor. Their song topics are informed by interests in history and geography, combined with an appreciation of both the humour and the sadness found in folk music styles.
This winter, country-soul-indie-rocker Duncan Graham (from Duncan Graham and his Co-Accused) has gathered up his exceptional violinist Jan Palethorpe for a bunch of duo shows around Melbourne and the regions. Expect the same soulful and poetic epics for which his band is known, delivered in a way that shows off the tenderness and elegance that lives within.
