Isabel Hede- Violin

 Originally from Melbourne, professional violinist and violist, Isabel Hede, has enjoyed a vibrant freelance career for over ten years. After completing her studies at the Victorian College of the Arts and the Australian National Academy of Music, she has gone on to perform and educate with many artists and musicians in London, Europe and Australia. She has worked with organisations such as Opera Australia and Musica Viva and performed in numerous festivals such as Melbourne and Perth International Arts Festivals, Sydney Biennale, Metropolis New Music Festival, and the Aurora Festival in Sweden. She has a particular interest in new music and regularly performs with the new music ensemble, Rubiks Collective. After completing an ArtsIceland Westfjörds residency in Iceland in 2018, Isabel founded Modulate Music; a collaborative organisation focussed on exploring how music can connect to audiences through combining sound, movement and meditation. In 2020 she released an album, Landscapes, which explores the body and mind and how it reflects the environment through electronic violin and viola soundscapes.

Gemma Kneale - Cello

Cellist Gemma Kneale has developed a wide variety of close relationships with leading ensembles and arts organisations in Australia and internationally. She is co- founding member of Rubiks Collective and member of Inventi Ensemble and has made numerous guest appearances with Southern Cross Soloists, Solstice Trio and Dots + Loops ensembles, whilst also enjoying regular work with Orchestra Victoria, the Australian World Orchestra, Melbourne Chamber Orchestra and Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2017, Gemma was a Fellow of the Australian National Academy of Music, performing in her own curated series ‘She Speaks’ celebrating the music of female composers. This culminated in the world premiere of Christine McCoobe’s “Ebb Tide”, a collaboration with accordion virtuoso James Crabb and presentation of works performed live to air for the ABC Classic FM celebration of International Women’s Day.

Georgina Lewis - Piano

Recognised for her thoughtful programming and ‘unfiltered’ musicality, pianist Georgina Lewis has gained a reputation for her sensitive performances and distinct approach to curation, which focuses on minimalism, music by women, and stories from off the beaten path. Georgina studied with Dr. Donna Coleman at the Victorian College of the Arts. In recent years she has focused on contemporary chamber music, and has the privilege of working with some of Melbourne’s most respected musicians. The piano has taken Georgina from the Melbourne Recital Centre to fortyfivedownstairs and Alpha60 Chapter House; as well as a bluestone watertower at the Western Treatment Plant and a ‘migrating’ stage in the grounds of Coolart Homestead.
