Latitude 37 at Melbourne Recital Centre: Folias
Latitude 37 is an exciting Baroque trio whose members were drawn together by their passion for historically informed performance of 17th and 18th-century music.
The special combination of Baroque violin, viola da gamba and harpsichord opens up a wealth of repertoire that is rarely explored by other Australian ensembles.
Comprising top graduates of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, the members of Latitude 37 share a unified interest in cultivating and communicating their art. Their spontaneity is inspired by the art of improvisation, communication and the humanity of a genre of music intended to charm and enchant its audience.
Since its Melbourne debut in 2008, the ensemble has become an active presence on the Australasian early music scene, with festival appearances, concerts, tours and regular broadcasts on ABC Classic FM. Latitude 37's first, self-titled CD and subsequent album Empires both received ARIA nominations, and a third album
Royal Consorts with ABC Classics has been received with critical acclaim.

Natalie Carolan at Melbourne Recital Centre
Rarely we encounter female artists whose voice and lyrics exhibit the quality of being understated, vulnerable and yet powerful. Melbourne musician, Natalie Carolan is one such artist.
Without having to over adorn her vocals, Carolan’s unique, dream-like sound melts into her melodically driven songs. Natalie first explored songwriting, falling in love with melodies and a new world of sonic possibilities at university.
Now guitarists Christian Meyer and Leonard Grigoryan with pianist Luke Howard join the singer/songwriting talent for the launch of her debut album, I Sleep. The ensemble will play Carolan’s compositions which have been arranged for a sparse, delicate and ‘dreamy’ musical environment.
Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre & Natalie Carolan.
