Melbourne sister duo Charm of Finches (aka Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes) makes haunted tunes about love, grief and whispering trees; indie folk awash with seamless blood harmonies traversing melancholy and wonder in equal measure.

Their recent accolades include the 2021 Music Victoria Best Folk Act, 2021 Australian Folk Music Awards Youth Act of the Year and nominations for the 2020 & 2021 Australian Music Prize. The duo released their third full length album WONDERFUL OBLIVION in October 2021 through New York-based label AntiFragile Music to critical acclaim and have very recently returned from a four-month tour of the UK and Europe.

“Wonderful Oblivion is a moving work, dressing up the shared experiences of the everyday with music that tugs at the heart and stirs the imagination.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Australian

Charm of Finches will be supported by Coda Chroma. Coda Chroma's songs are drawn from personal dreamscapes and real-life encounters, delivering poetic honesty, with a nostalgia for the unknown.

This event takes place on Wadawurrung Country. Minerva Ballaarat acknowledges the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation as the first inhabitants and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we work, learn and create. Always Was, Always Will Be, Aboriginal Land.
