Excellence in Early Music

Founded in 1985 by Greg Dikmans, the Elysium Ensemble is true to its name, creating a state of ideal happiness by bringing together musicians whose affinity with Baroque music is combined with a mastery of period instruments.

In 2010 the Elysium Ensemble’s principals, Greg Dikmans (baroque flute) and Lucinda Moon (baroque violin), initiated a Baroque Music Performance Research Project. They are currently working in conjunction with the Early Music Studio at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, The University of Melbourne.

The aim of the project is to identify neglected or newly discovered, high quality chamber music from the Baroque period (1600–1750) with a view to bringing it to a wider audience through historically informed performances and recordings.

2012 CONCERT SERIES — Melbourne Recital Centre

The Elysium Ensemble’s 2012 Concert Series at the Melbourne Recital Centre celebrates the music of Boismortier, Telemann and Quantz, drawing from their cycles of solos and duets. Works by their contemporaries will provide an enlightening context.

Greg Dikmans (baroque flute) and Lucinda Moon (baroque violin) have developed a unique artistic dialogue and understanding over a 20 year creative partnership. In their new series, Lucinda and Greg are joined by Glenys March (harpsichord) to present rarely heard and newly discovered works from the Baroque era using the performance practices of the time.
