A little note on Scottish-Australian music...

Our two 2019 album releases have explored historical Scottish-Australian music from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The inspiration to dive into this repertoire came from the desire, as period instrumentalists and singers, to know more about our own historical music traditions here in Australia. Shane Lestideau, artistic director of the ensemble, is studying the historically informed performance of Scottish-Australian music manuscripts for her PhD and has brought her own research to the ensemble's programming. The most surprising and exciting parts of these creative expeditions through Australia's past have sometimes been, in fact, not musical at all. They have been the profound reconnection to family and place, people and land...to our own personal stories as Australians.
