Monash University Performing Arts Centres presents First Nations violinist Eric Avery as part of the 2024 Sundays in the Sound Gallery series.
Renowned for his exquisite voice, violin and dance, Eric Avery is an exceptional artist with a rich heritage spanning Ngiyampaa, Yuin, Bandjalang, and Gumbangirr cultures. Seamlessly weaving together the violin and composition, Eric’s artistic journey is a heartfelt homage to his ancestral roots. Guided by his family’s custodial songs, he revives ancient traditions, infusing his performances with the essence of his people. His haunting compositions often feature him singing and playing violin, predominantly in the Ngiyampaa language.
Eric’s exceptional journey has earned him international acclaim, sharing stages with luminaries including Yo-Yo Ma and Tina Arena. He has secured commissions and performances with prestigious names such as Camerata Queensland, Ensemble Offspring, the JACK Quartet, along with Australia’s foremost orchestras. In 2021 he was recognised as a Myer Creative Fellow, solidifying his role as a cultural ambassador and artistic visionary.
This recital is part of the 2024 Sundays in the Sound Gallery series, showcasing exceptional artists in the intimate and acoustically superb David Li Sound Gallery.
