Ensemble Lumen

Holly Harrison  Swivel & Swerve
Wynton Marsalis  Meeelaan for Bassoon and String Quartet
Maurice Ravel  Piano Trio in A minor

Ensemble Lumen has the privilege of opening our 2026 Lunchtime Concert Series with Swivel & Swerve – a recent work by Holly Harrison, a composer noted for writing some of ‘the most exciting works to come out of Australia over the past decade’ (Limelight). Wynton Marsalis’s Meeelaan follows, introducing a taste of the composer-performer’s New Orleans style in an intriguing work for bassoon and string quartet. Rounding out the program is Ravel’s beloved Piano Trio, offering its own exploration of diverse influences: the first movement honouring his Basque heritage, the second an ode to Malayan poetry, and the third a Baroque-inspired Passacaglia.
