Research Statement

The field is music performance: the realisation of new Australian music composed for clarinet, viola and orchestra. The research question is: Is it possible to add a unique layer of musical expression to a new notated score through composer / performer interactions and workshops? What effect does my method of interpretation have on the final performance outcome? The research innovation is the realisation of Timothy Young's 'Distant Water' written for and premiered by the Ensemble Liaison. The innovation involves my unique artistic interpretation and use of sound colours to add a new dimension of expression to the works beyond the noted score. I worked with the composer to combine their vision of the new work with my own impression of their musical intentions. This interaction created a new version of their work not experienced before by the composer or the audiences, which in turn informs all future performances of the work. Musica Viva Tasmania has been of the most significant presenters of chamber music in Tasmania. The Hobart Town Hall is a significant venue for chamber music in Tasmania. The performance was on the prestigious MVT 6-concert series. Ensemble Liaison is an internationally acclaimed ensemble, described by Limelight magazine as a ‘national treasure’
