The Muses’ Delight is a new Melbourne-based ensemble with a passion for presenting historically informed performances of art and folk music from the Classical period. Their name pays tribute to the Ancient Greek Muse Euterpe, the giver of delight and muse of music. Comprised of Meredith Beardmore (flute), Katie Yap (viola/violin) and Lucy Price (cello), The Muses’ Delight is passionate about bringing 17th and 18th century stories to life through creative programming, the use of period instruments, and the combination of scholarship and spontaneity in performance.
Following their debut in September 2017, they have already been featured in the Peninsula Music Festival, and are in the midst of an exciting season of four concerts throughout Victoria in 2018. Separately, the members of The Muses’ Delight play with leading Australian historical ensembles, such as the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, the Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra, Melbourne Baroque Orchestra, Van Diemen’s Band, and Ironwood Ensemble.
Bringing the sheer joy and playfulness of folk music together with the elegance of high art music from the Classical period, The Muses’ Delight weaves fascinating stories through every concert.
