From the concert hall to the jazz club, Michael Evans-Barker has spent more than 30 years exploring just how much can be done with percussion.
A member of the Art of Sound Orchestra and a regular performer on Melbourne’s jazz scene, Michael’s musical life crosses genres with ease. His recording with the Nadav Rayman Trio was nominated for the 2021 Australian Music Prize, while his work as a composer and collaborator has included music for the Australian Shakespeare Theatre Company and recording and touring with Steve Kilbey and All India Radio.
At Ooh là là!, Michael brings that breadth of experience to the Festival ensemble, with percussion adding its own distinctive colour, energy and drama to this year’s programme.

One of the greatest pleasures of a chamber music festival is discovery.
Alongside the French masterpieces at the heart of Ooh là là!, the Festival also celebrates the richness of Australian composition, bringing together music that is lyrical, thought-provoking, adventurous and deeply expressive.
This year’s Festival features works by Peter Sculthorpe AO OBE FAHA, John Ross OAM, Mark Ferguson, Ross Fiddes and Michael Lampard—composers whose music reflects the remarkable breadth of Australia’s musical voice.
Whether you’re hearing these works for the first time or returning to familiar favourites, they promise moments of surprise, beauty and inspiration throughout the Festival weekend.
You may even discover a new favourite.

One Festival. Extraordinary artists. One unforgettable collaboration.
At the Albury Chamber Music Festival, many of our featured artists don’t simply present a recital—they also come together as members of the Festival Orchestra, collaborating alongside outstanding guest musicians in performances found nowhere else.
Throughout the weekend you’ll see familiar faces move effortlessly between solo, chamber and orchestral performances, bringing their artistry to every corner of the Festival. Under the direction of Mario Dobernig, the Festival Orchestra brings these exceptional musicians together in performances that celebrate the spirit of collaboration at the heart of chamber music.
From the radiant beauty of Fauré’s Requiem to concerts across the Festival weekend, the Festival Orchestra lies at the heart of Ooh là là!—bringing together artists, repertoire and audiences in performances created especially for this one extraordinary weekend.
Experience the excitement of hearing Australia’s finest musicians not only as soloists, but as collaborators in a Festival orchestra that exists only for the Albury Chamber Music Festival.
🎟 Festival Passes and individual concert bookings are available now.
