Croissants and Whiskey

Join Melbourne's most versatile and in-demand, prog-baroque quartet, Croissants and Whiskey, in their debut performance in Geelong.

An unconventional blend of Harpsichord, G Violone, Baroque Viola, and Recorders creates new and unexpected timbres, blending the sonorous with the sharp, and making the old new again. Performing both baroque and modern compositions, Croissants and Whiskey is currently commissioning new works from diverse Australian voices, including an upcoming recording of Elizabeth Younan's The Fertile Crescent for the ABC Composer Commissioning Fund.

Formed during 2020’s stage 4 lockdown, Croissants and Whiskey is named from the refreshing libations at those first joyous post-pandemic rehearsals. Joy Lee, Ryan Williams, Katie Yap, and Miranda Hill bring musicality, focus, and humour to their work, making any performance one not to miss.

Individually, Joy, Ryan, Katie, and Miranda have performed with Australia’s elite ensembles, including: Elision, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Australian World Orchestra, Inland Concerts, Astra, Melbourne Baroque Orchestra, Arcko, Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra, Homophonic! Genesis Baroque, and the major Symphony and Opera Orchestras. The quartet continue to expand their exceptional resume, curently undertaking a new work with Geelong-based acclaimed composer Kym Dillon, with the support of the Continuo Commissioning Circle, due for premiere in 2023.

See them in the most glorious historic Platform Arts setting on Saturday 3 December 2022. 

Doors open at 4.15PM with the performance starting at 5PM sharp.
