Mythological shapeshifters, the figure of the Siren has been omnipresent in seemingly unrelated cultures for millennia.

Appearing as half-birds, or with fish-like tails and often gender fluid, Sirens were singing enchantresses capable of luring passing sailors to their doom with the irresistible beauty of their song.

Bringing a new approach to these ancient stories, Van Diemen’s Fiddles lend their unique sound-world to an evocatively mesmerising program of new works and re-worked historical compositions based on tales from Japan, Germany, ancient Greece and current-day lutruwita / Tasmania.

Van Diemen's Fiddles unites the exceptional talents of baroque violinist Julia Fredersdorff, klezmer / folk fiddler Rachel Meyers, experimental / folk fiddler Emily Sheppard and contemporary / Baroque violist Katie Yap.
