Artists

Donald Nicolson harpsichord and synths
Katie Yap Baroque viola and vocals

Bronzewing weaves old and new together in a spectacular, raucous combination. Donald Nicolson (harpsichord and synths) and Katie Yap (baroque viola and vocals) are two of Australia's foremost period musicians, they catapult their ancient instruments into modern soundworlds.

Exploring co-composition, they draw on influences from Hildegard von Bingen, J.S. Bach, and 70s electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre. Their debut work, Black Cockatoos is a 13-minute tour-de-force based on Judith Wright's poem of the same name, evoking the unsettling moments before a storm, and the heavy wildness of the black cockatoo's wingbeats.
