Maria Grenfell Wall of Flames performed by Muses Trio

Wall of Flames is an excerpt from Muses Trio's Fire Dances performance for International Women's Day 2022, held at the Nickson Room at the University of Queensland for their Lunchtime Concert Series. Thank you to Paul Young for video and sound production. Fire Dances is a suite for piano trio, collaboratively written by eight Australian women composers, once from each state and territory. The suite was commissioned through the support of a Fresh Start Grant, funded by ABC Classic during 2020. The grant enabled the composition of this new work, a recording studio session at the ABC, airplay for the completed recording on ABC Classic and a commercial digital release of the work via ABC Music. Eight Australian women composers were invited by The Muses Trio to compose a short dance movement, inspired by the Australian wildfires of 2019-2020. These pieces reflect upon our relationship with the land and reveal our own responses to an environmental tragedy. The work includes creative voices from every state and territory of the nation. Natalie Williams initiated the project in May 2020. Learn more through www.musestrio.com
