EVENT DESCRIPTION

‘a breathtakingly virtuosic performance’ her ‘special skill was in the refined, almost silent moments of bowing’

Helen Muse from City News Canberra. 2023/4

ARTIST STATEMENT

Join me on an intimate, meditative musical journey at the historic Clifton School of Arts. You will hear echoes of folk tunes and dance rhythms, beautiful melodies and moving harmonies. Like the night sky, there will be darkness and light. 

Growing up in Wombarrra, between the Escarpment and Pacific Ocean has been a formative influence on who I am as a person and musician. Nature is the greatest influence on my art. I am  equally grateful for the President’s Merit Scholarship that continues to support my studies at Manhattan School of Music NY.
