Two of the world’s finest viola da gamba players unite for a rare and captivating collaboration.

Step into a resonant sound world as two of the world’s finest viola da gamba players unite for a rare and captivating collaboration. Presenting Liquid Threads, Liam Byrne (Berlin) and Laura Vaughan (Melbourne) explore the sonority of two bass viols in dialogue, a sound at once intimate, powerful, and rich with expressive depth.

Liquid Threads weaves the intricate and sumptuous music of 17th-century masters such as Ferrabosco II, Hume and Byrd, the passionate Sainte-Colombe, along with striking contemporary works receiving their Australian premieres. Icelandic composer Hildur Guðnadóttir brings her atmospheric voice to the viol, whilst Australian composers Alice Chance and Brooke Green offer evocative new works written especially for this collaboration.
