Presented by Murray River Fine Music Association.
Bringing together some of Australia’s jazz greats like saxophonist Matt Keegan, pianist Matt McMahon, drummer Dave Goodman and bassist Siebe Pogson with leading early music performers Jennifer Eriksson and Susie Bishop, Elysian Fields is an ongoing experiment in creating new, improvised and composed repertoire for the electric viola da gamba – of which Eriksson is the only Australian exponent.
Their music has been described as “a compelling mixture of Scandinavian folk, classical and jazz influences – that really compels”.
This performance also includes a new work by Gordon Kerry I Dreamed I Moved Among the Elysian Fields, composed for the ensemble and which premiered in Sydney in 2019.
