About Us
“Highly proficient players who come to folk music through classical music can turn traditional music into something quite different. Throw them in with folk performers of a more traditional type and the outcome can be something new and exciting…. a new music with class and roots.”
When American musicologist Chris Goetzen wrote this about fiddle clubs in Norway, he might have been thinking about The Homegrown Quartet in Melbourne. Bringing together oboe/cor anglais, cello, viola/fiddle, voices and guitar, the Homegrown Quartet creates original instrumental and vocal material with a folk inflection. The players, from diverse musical backgrounds in classical and folk music, come together in a musical blend that sometimes sounds a bit more classical than folk, sometimes the reverse. Join the world-wide movement and enjoy the music of Melbourne’s Homegrown Quartet.
