Musica Viva has been changing the way we bring chamber music to all corners of Australia. Determined to bring our audience something innovative, we’re working to create experiences which stimulate our senses, helping anyone to explore new worlds of sound, composition and artistry.
‘Discover Musica Viva’ is a collection of online concerts, podcast episodes, articles and webinars.
Chamber of Musical Curiosities
Hosted by Artistic Director Paul Kildea, the Chamber of Musical Curiosities is a chamber music podcast exploring the world in and around Musica Viva Australia. This season features an eclectic range of guests in conversation with Paul Kildea, as both parties reflect upon creativity, their careers, and their passion for chamber music.
You can listen to all of the episodes via Spotify, iTunes or on our website if you dont use a streaming service.
Latest Episode: Genevieve Lacey and Paul Kildea: The Anatomy of a Duet
In this episode of the Chamber of Musical Curiosities, Artistic Director Paul Kildea talks with the Australian artist Genevieve Lacey. As he eloquently notes in the introduction, to simply refer to Genevieve as ‘a recorder player, is missing the point’, as she has forged a rich career, with credits as a performer, composer, and curator. In this conversation, Genevieve reflects upon the emergence of her artistic practise, talks about how ‘a life in art is one of constant evolution’, and reflects on the genesis, and importance of Musica Viva’s Future Makers program. She doesn’t leave without revealing tantalising information about the new collaboration she’s developed with her friend and colleague, the harpist Marshall McGuire, which they’ll be touring for Musica Viva in 2021.
