🎹 Artist Spotlight | Ariana Odermatt

From Venice to Handel’s London — and now to a little corner of France in Albury. 🇮🇹🇬🇧🇫🇷

For harpsichordist Ariana Odermatt, music has opened doors to some remarkable places.

Her international performance experience includes the Venice Biennale, Handel’s House in London and performances with NZ Barok — a musical journey through some of the great centres of European culture.

Ariana holds a Master of Philosophy from the Australian National University School of Music and a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Harpsichord Performance from the University of Waikato in New Zealand.

Now an established presence in Canberra’s musical life, she has performed with the Canberra Symphony Orchestra, Canberra Bach Ensemble, Limestone Consort, Musica da Camera and Handel in the Theatre, as well as appearing at the Canberra International Music Festival.

And her instrument? The harpsichord — with its distinctive, sparkling sound — was at the very heart of Baroque music-making. Unlike the modern piano, its strings are plucked rather than struck, giving it a wonderfully crisp and brilliant character.

In the hands of a skilled player, it can be both a sparkling solo voice and the musical foundation that brings an entire ensemble together.

This November, Ariana joins Limestone Consort for MONTMARTRE | Baroque Extravaganza, featuring French Baroque cantatas by André Campra and Nicolas Bernier.

A little French elegance, a touch of musical history, and the unmistakable sparkle of the harpsichord — magnifique! 🇫🇷🎶

🎻 Artist Spotlight | Clara Teniswood

One cello, two musical worlds — and several centuries of music to explore.

For Canberra-based cellist Clara Teniswood, the cello is an instrument with a remarkable capacity to travel through time.

Whether playing the modern cello or its Baroque predecessor, Clara brings her musicianship to repertoire spanning centuries, exploring the distinctive sounds and performance traditions of each era.

Clara studied with renowned Australian cellist David Pereira and received her Licentiate in Music, Australia (LMusA) in 2013.

Her musical journey has included performances at the Canberra International Music Festival and participation in the Australian International Symphony Orchestra Institute. Her exploration of historical performance has taken her into workshops and programmes with Ironwood, the Sydney Baroque Festival, Masaaki Suzuki and Juilliard415, and Van Diemen’s Band.

Since 2019, Clara has been Principal Cellist of the Canberra Bach Ensemble, and she also performs with Limestone Consort and The Southern Concert.

This November, Clara joins Limestone Consort for MONTMARTRE | Baroque Extravaganza, bringing the rich, resonant voice of the cello to a programme of French Baroque cantatas by André Campra and Nicolas Bernier.

Music from another century, performed with the immediacy and intimacy that make chamber music so special. 🇫🇷🎶

🇫🇷🎩 Festival Personalities | Peter Macleod-Miller

A parish priest, le Dauphin d’Albury, and a certain je ne sais quoi…

If ever there were a man born to embrace a Festival called Ooh là là!, it might just be Peter Macleod-Miller.

With his unmistakable personal style, fabulous hats, quick wit and seemingly inexhaustible enthusiasm for bringing people together, Peter is one of Albury’s most colourful characters.

But behind the flamboyance is a man with an enormous commitment to his community.

As Rector of St Matthew's Anglican Church, Peter’s work extends well beyond Sunday services. He has long advocated for people experiencing homelessness and hardship, for mental health support, and for a city where everyone has a place at the table.

And he believes passionately that music and the arts belong at that table too.

As President of the Albury Chamber Music Festival, Peter is part host, part ambassador, part enthusiastic impresario — helping bring extraordinary musicians and audiences together in a regional city that knows how to make them welcome.

This November, the historic spaces of St Matthew’s and Adamshurst will once again come alive with music, conversation and celebration as our Festival takes a decidedly French turn.

And while we can’t promise Peter will arrive wearing a beret, Napoleon’s tricorne is entirely likely. 🇫🇷

Merci beaucoup, Peter — for the flair, the friendship and the conviction that beautiful music should be shared. 🥂🎶
