DESCRIPTION:Two headliner high-profile comedians. \nNick Cody brings a comedic style that’s equal parts laid-back and blunt. He dives into topics ranging from personal disasters to the oddities of modern life with the kind of confidence that can only come from years of comedy experience. Boasting a sizable fanbase of Cody devotees\, Nick has sold out shows whilst racking up rave reviews\, not only at the biggest comedy festivals Australia has to offer including Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Sydney Comedy Festival\, but also at Edinburgh Festival Fringe\, the invite-only Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal\, New York Comedy Festival and Johannesburg Comedy Festival. \nLizzy Hoo is a master of mining her life and family into material that leaves audiences left wanting more.

With each passing year\, Lizzy has been exponentially growing her audience to sold out houses around Australia\, while exponentially stretching the ability to use her name as a pun with shows such as Hoo Dis?\, Hoo Cares and Woo Hoo.

SUMMARY:Musica Viva Concert - "Streeton Trio..."
DESCRIPTION:Streeton Trio – Women Who Dared \nBold\, brilliant women in chamber music. \nJoin the Streeton Trio for a powerful and inspiring evening celebrating the brilliance and resilience of women in music. This program shines a light on four extraordinary female composers who defied convention and left a lasting mark on the classical world. The concert opens with Fanny Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio in D minor (Germany)\, a passionate and lyrical masterpiece that rivals the works of her famous brother\, Felix. Despite societal barriers\, Fanny composed over 400 works\, proving that talent knows no gender. Kelly-Marie Murphy’s Give Me Phoenix Wings to Fly (Canada) soars with fiery intensity and breathtaking virtuosity\, symbolizing rebirth and transformation—a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin’s Spirit and the Maiden blends haunting beauty with raw energy\, drawing inspiration from folklore to tell a story of courage and resilience. Clara Schumann’s Trio in G minor\, Op. 17 (Germany) is testament to the child prodigy turned musical trailblazer. Clara balanced motherhood and a legendary career to create an enduring legacy as one of history’s greatest musicians. This concert celebrates women’s voices\, creativity\, and determination\, proving that the power of music—and the power of women—knows no bounds. \nProgramme: Fanny MENDELSSOHN (1805–1847)\, Piano Trio in D minor\, Op. 11 (1846–1847); Kelly-Marie MURPHY (b. 1964)\, Give Me Phoenix Wings to Fly (1997); Elena KATS-CHERNIN (b. 1957)\, Spirit and the Maiden (2004); Clara SCHUMANN (1819–1896)\, Piano Trio in G minor\, Op. 17 (1846).
