MUSICA VIVA AUSTRALIA<br />
AT THE EDGE<br />
<strong>Musica</strong> <strong>Viva</strong> <strong>Australia</strong> at The Edge is<br />
Melbourne’s secret music treat, an always<br />
surprising, always lively series of three morning<br />
concerts, and a perfect prelude to lunch at<br />
Melbourne’s vibrant Fed Square.<br />
Guitarist Ken Murray treads a multi-faceted path as<br />
a performer, composer, educator and researcher,<br />
specialising in Spanish music from the early 20th-century<br />
and South American music styles. He has many treasures<br />
to share ranging from the Spanish Baroque to Paraguay’s<br />
irresistible Zamba to striking new work from First Nations<br />
composer Christopher Sainsbury.<br />
Next up, we welcome back Trio Bohémo, the charismatic<br />
ensemble from the Czech Republic that captured the<br />
audience’s heart at the 2023 Melbourne International<br />
Chamber Music Competition. And what better work<br />
to include than Dvořák’s ‘Dumky’ Trio, written as a<br />
love letter to his Czech homeland on the eve of his big<br />
American adventure?<br />
The Penny Quartet is no stranger to The Edge, but this time<br />
they’ve brought a friend. Jess Hitchcock is an Indigenous<br />
singer-songwriter who has stirred up the <strong>Australia</strong>n music<br />
scene as a genre-defying force. Experience her gorgeous<br />
mezzo voice and uncanny knack for storytelling as she<br />
performs her own songs, arranged for voice, guitar and<br />
string quartet.<br />
