For the last twenty-six years, Halcyon has brought together the best of Australia’s musicians for their performances, working in collaboration with great ensembles, conductors and fellow artists as well as being a training ground for upcoming players. We are grateful for all their contributions and have thoroughly enjoyed making music with such a talented and diverse group of artists in numerous eclectic programs since 1998, and look forward to continuing to grow and develop this community in coming years.
