Marshall McGuire and Genevieve Lacey have performed together across the world, from prestigious venues and festivals in Moscow, Paris, and London, to the Lindau International Convention for Nobel Laureates, and further afield to shearing sheds, football ovals, and remote properties in Australia.

Their 2021 album Bower celebrated their more than 20-year collaboration, winning the ARIA for Best Classical Recording. This performance takes excerpts from Bower and mines their extensive catalogue of music for the exquisite combination of recorders and harp, with compositions from sumptuous Renaissance and Baroque courts to contemporary Australian works written especially for them.

Musician and arts advocate Genevieve Lacey creates, performs and curates. Her works include Pleasure Garden (a listening garden), Recorder Queen (a semi-animated documentary film), and Breathing Space (a permanent sound installation for the National Museum of Australia). As

a recorder virtuoso, Genevieve appears with Australian and international orchestras, including performances as a concerto soloist in the Royal Albert Hall for BBC Proms, at the London Jazz Festival and on Thursday Island with Australian indigenous ensemble The Black Arm Band.

Marshall McGuire is one of Australia’s leading performers, with a special interest in baroque and contemporary music. He’s commissioned and premiered more than 100 new works for harp and has been a member of the ELISION ensemble since 1988. Marshall has performed in caves, on

the beach at Orpheus Island, at the Chateau de Chantilly, and in a 12thcentury chapel in Wales. Playing music in exotic and beautiful locations is his passion.
