After four successful seasons of beautiful chamber music events, celebrating music composed and performed by women, we are excited about releasing our debut CD. We have included three world premiere recordings, feature four Australian composers, alongside some gorgeous gems and audience favourites. As much as we love discovering music from the past, we are also proud to feature works by six living composers.
“..the performers are to be congratulated on choosing such an imaginative programme”.. “committed and passionate” Musicweb-international.com CD Review“..unique among chamber music ensembles…..wonderful tribute to the veritable wealth of classical music composed by women” Readings review of Spirit and the Maiden CD
“… eclectic and extraordinary assemblage of compositions… engendering beauty and impacting the senses, intellect, and the emotions of the audience…The quality of the performances of the Muses Trio throughout speaks to their extensive range of emotions and technique. Their commitment and dedication to promote the music of women is equally impressive and should stand as a call to arms for a resurgence in the scholarship, perfor- mance, and recording of the repertoire of women.” Review from International Alliance for Women in Music Journal
