about

Twenty years of running an unfunded chamber music group based around a non-mainstream instrument like the viola da gamba has not been without its challenges. This is not a career path for the faint hearted or the thin skinned. But the upsides have always outweighed the downsides. I have had two decades of playing the music I love with colleagues I admire with the support of audiences who consistently come along to our events with open ears and open hearts.

I was a late starter. It took me a long time to get up the courage to form my own ensemble in 2000. It was only in 2007 that I felt ready to put down our first recording, Viol Dreaming. That initial CD set the broad pattern for our subsequent releases with its mix of French baroque viol music - two suites by Marais - a cantata by Montéclair and world premieres of Australian works by Kevin Hunt and Matthew Perry. Juxtaposition is good. Although I play an instrument with a heritage across several centuries, I live in 21st century Australia. Artists must, in my view, have the confidence to hold the past, present and future in creative tension.

Now to this CD. Listeners will hear new repertoire and meet musicians who have not previously recorded with The Marais Project in Elsen Price, Susie Bishop and Emily-Rose Šárkova. They will also rediscover music and musicians from previous recordings.

Where to from here? I am not sure if I will be playing in another 20 years’ time but as my guiding light, Jordi Savall, does not seem to have any retirement plans, who knows?

Finally, I would like to acknowledge those who have helped this decade’s long project: the musicians, my family and friends, audience members, arts organisations and media along with so many others who have given encouragement and support. Thank you.

Jenny Eriksson, Music Director
