| About The Mediocritist Ensemble |
The Mediocritist Ensemble was formed in late 2004 by three of Australia’s greatest experimental new music specialists and multi instrumentalists: Warren Craig - Violin, Trumpet, Piano, synthesized flute and vocals; Olav Matthewsson - Cello, Piano Accordian, Piano, Percussion and vocals; and Lukas McMichaels - Clarinet, Recorders, Guitars, cello, piano and vocals.
Since it’s inception, the ensemble has spread their passion for music right across Australia, thrilling audiences with their new sounds and their sinewy, perceptual performances.
The have received numerous awards, including the converted Golden Arch award for excellence in chamber music performance; the Alan T. L. Jen-Wilkinson award for service to Australian Music for their work in commissioning new works from Australian composers; and in late 2006 they became the resident ensemble with Daylight Robbery Theatricals (one of Australia's three dedicated contemporary Opera Companies).
The ensemble is glad to announce that from 2008 they have secured renowned counter-tenor Wellington Pavior as their guest artist in residence. They are looking forward to a series of concerts featuring this amazing singer.
