For the last twenty 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.
