As Assistant Concertmaster of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, violinist Lerida Delbridge is a vital cornerstone of our classical music scene. She also has a passion for chamber music as a founding member of the Tinalley String Quartet, which has performed internationally and been the recipient of numerous awards. She has recently taken on the role of artistic director of Hunters Hill Music, which brings outstanding chamber music closer to audiences.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Lerida discusses her multifaceted musical life, reflecting on her early musical influences, international study experiences, and the challenges and triumphs of building a career in chamber music from Australia. Delbridge also speaks about the importance of community music-making, her cherished historic violin, and the joy and insight she gains from teaching.
The next Hunters Hill Music – Swirl, Swoop & Dance – is on at 2pm on Sunday 4 May at the Hunters Hill Town Hall. Visit huntershillmusic.com.au for further details about this and future concerts.
