Combining four of Melbourne’s most versatile and in demand musicians, Croissants & Whiskey brings a new energy to ancient instruments as part of Leaps & Bounds + Beyond 2022. 

At their debut solo concert, Croissants & Whiskey celebrates the joy of making music together in a fascinating, diverse program of Australian music, both old and new. With their eclectic line-up, wicked sense of humour, and serious chops, this gig is one to put in the diary!

An unconventional blend of Harpsichord, G Violone, Baroque Viola and Recorders creates new and unexpected timbres, blending the sonorous with the sharp. 

Formed during 2020’s stage 4 lockdown, Croissants & Whiskey is named from the refreshing libations at those first joyous post-pandemic rehearsals. Joy Lee, Ryan Williams, Katie Yap, and Miranda Hill bring musicality, focus, and humour to their work, making any performance one not to miss.

Individually, Joy, Ryan, Katie, and Miranda have performed with Australia’s elite ensembles, including: Elision, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Australian World Orchestra, Inland Concerts, Astra, Melbourne Baroque Orchestra, Arcko, Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra, Homophonic! Genesis Baroque, and the major Symphony and Opera Orchestras.

Croissants and Whiskey is supported by On the Road Again, a Victorian Government initiative to bring live music back across the state.
