Phew! Nicole here, writing from amongst a whirlwind of washing, bits of music everywhere, and much administration - the usual surroundings of touring.
Ironwood is smack bang in the middle of its first Australian national tour for Musica Viva Australia (our national chamber music promoters). We are touring with Australian soprano Miriam Allan, doing a program of Purcell and Handel, both anniversary boys this year.
We have already played in Canberra, Brisbane, Newcastle (Miriam's home town), and Sydney (the first concert here, one more to go). You can find all the dates and times in a previous blog below or on the Musica Viva website. Tommorrow we fly to Perth,for a concert on Tuesday 24th March, Adelaide with a concert on Thurs 26th March which will be broadcast and streamed live on ABC Classic FM, Melbourne Saturday 28th, then Sydney Monday 30th, and Melbourne again Tuesday 31st.
We've loved playing in all the different halls around Oz so far, and it's always interesting to adjust to each different acoustic (and humidity, with early instruments!). Coffee, breakfast, swimming pools and op shopping also feature as parts of the day on Ironwood's tours....Canberra wins so far for airport early morning coffee (all those caffienated pollies), and Brisbane for its hotel swimming pool, complete with resident ducks.
More soon, from Perth!
