World premiere of new music

Local musicians Anthony Pateras, Natasha Anderson and Lizzy Welsh will feature in Saturday's event.

Three esteemed local musicians who now call the Castlemaine region home are set to feature in a special one-off concert at The Old Church on the Hill in Bendigo this Saturday September 21.


Anthony Pateras (electronics), Natasha Anderson (recorders/electronics) and Lizzy Welsh (viola d’amore/electronics) will use the concert as an opportunity to debut their newest works, which they have written over the past few months.


Lizzy Welsh told the Express she was very lucky to receive a federal arts grant through Creative Australia to create a new piece for viola d’amore and electronic.

“I am thrilled to present the world premiere of the piece at The Old Church on the Hill with my wonderful colleagues Anthony and Natasha,” Welsh said.


“Anthony and Natasha are some of Australia’s most renowned composers, and they happen to live right here in Chewton!


“The three of us have performed together (and separately) for over a decade, across Europe and Australia, but this is the first time the three of us have all appeared in the same concert in our local region,” she said.


“For this concert, we will each be performing one of our own solo compositions.”

The unique concert event will take place at 7.30pm at The Old Church on the Hill, 36 Russell St, Quarry Hill.

Tickets are $20/$15 (kids 12 and under free) and are available at the door or via Trybooking at www.trybooking.com/CUSKB
