Following their triumphant collaboration at the 2023 Sydney Festival, the multifaceted keyboardist and vocalist Lisa Moore and woodwind virtuoso clarinetist Lloyd Van’t Hoff formed CRUX – a duo mission – to explore, arrange, and perform recent and new commissioned musical works, alongside traditional and modern classics. Blending the warm, rich energy of piano and clarinet, this cross-continental Australian-born team have, in the 2023-2024 season, performed original and powerful programs in New York City, New Haven, Detroit, Melbourne and Brisbane – bringing audiences works ranging from chamber music duos, to solos with text, backing tracks, and visual projections, in addition to trio collaborations with guest artists.

Thomas Adès’ Alchymia has been hailed as ‘simply one of the best chamber music compositions of our time’ (Guardian). Inspired by the music of Shakespearean England, but with a voice all of its own, this major work for string quartet and basset clarinet was premiered in 2021 and has become an instant classic. Musica Viva Australia is excited to present the London-based Doric String Quartet performing this ‘magical and arresting’ (The Times) work with the ‘brilliance, charisma and sensitivity’ (The Mercury) of Australian clarinettist Lloyd Van’t Hoff.
