June 24th, 2024Church concert to feature top interpreters

Lizzy Welsh, baroque violin, and Joy Lee, harpsichord, will present an exploration of composer-performer relationships from the 17th century to the present at Christ Church, Daylesford on Saturday, June 29 at 2.30pm.

The evolution of western art music has long been driven by the relationships between composers and performers.

As two of Australia’s leading interpreters and commissioners of new works, keyboardist Joy and violinist Lizzy, pictured, have extensive first-hand experience of these relationships and the influence they can impress upon the creation of musical languages.

Joy and Lizzy’s collaboration began initially performing new compositions in Australia’s leading new music ensembles.

As each of them independently trained in early music performance, their partnership evolved to include performing together on harpsichord and baroque violin.

Lizzy and Joy are both based in regional Victoria and have been playing together for over a decade. Lizzy is internationally renowned as a music-maker and performer of early music, new music and experimental improvisation, principally on the baroque violin and modern violin.

Joy has a special focus on contemporary music and collaborates with a number of Australian and international composers in realising new works for piano, harpsichord and clavichord.

As a harpsichordist her repertoire spans the breadth of the late Renaissance and Baroque eras to music written this year.
