Marais Project Time and Seasons
Four TWT readers can win double passes to the Marais Project’s Time
and Seasons 20th Anniversary concert on Sunday May 26 at The Independent
Theatre North Sydney from 3.30pm.
There’s a triple treat in
store for music lovers

Marais Project ensemble
celebrates 20 years
of early music-making,
launches its 20th anniversary
CD and welcomes
Elysian Fields to
share the stage.
Times and Seasons,
which takes place at
the elegant North Sydney
theatre, celebrates
The Marais Project’s
two decades as one of
Australia’s most creative
early music ensembles.
Jenny Eriksson, long
term Ryde resident and
founder of The Marais
Project, said “turning 20
is something special.”
The event features
special guest Swedish
gambist Leif Henrikson, a
long-term friend and colleague
of Jenny, and revered
lutenist and Marais
Project original member
Tommie Andersson.
“The first half of the
concert sees The Marais
Project present some of
the best of the French
Baroque repertoire that
we love so much as a
group”, Jenny explained.
“This includes music
by Marin Marais for two
viola da gambas and a
cantata for soprano, two
viola da gambas and
continuo accompaniment.”
To add yet more interest
to the occasion,
The Marais Project will
release its 7th CD, The
Garden Party on the day
with audience members
getting an advance opportunity
to purchase a
