Early Music Ensembles
The Marais Project is one of the few
professional ensembles in
Australia based around the viola da gamba. It was
founded by viola da gambist
Jennifer Eriksson in 2000 with the aim of performing the
complete works
Of the great French Baroque gambist and composer, Marin
Marais. Although
maintaining its focus on Marais, the group has expanded
its repertoire
to include collaborations with art forms such as dance
and poetry, joint
concerts with World Music ensembles such as Mara!, and
commissioning
new works by Australian composers. Former Sydney
Morning Herald music
critic Fred Blanks recently included Jennifer Eriksson
in his list of Sydney's
"20 greatest musicians". Information, ticket and
