About

Recital: The Muffat Collective

Matthew Greco and Rafael Font (Baroque violins) and Ruby Brallier (viola da gamba) — members of The Muffat Collective —  will take us on an intimate journey into the world of the French Baroque. With the elegant blend of two violins and the cello’s graceful ancestor, the viola da gamba, this program evokes the charm and refinement of an 18th-century Parisian salon. Featuring works by Jean-Marie Leclair and other French masters, it promises an afternoon of beauty, poise, and discovery.

Lecturer: Dr Peter Sheridan AM

Heritage used to signify a civic appreciation and responsibility to recognise and protect the aesthetic, cultural and social history of people and places that make up the cumulative narrative of cities. Today, ‘heritage’ has a justifiably broad orbit, but in Sydney architectural heritage has a diminished status and politicised criticisms. This has undermined its intrinsic value for future generations to know Sydney’s legacy and celebrate their roots. How did we get to this point and where do we go from here?
