about

In 2019, Flora celebrated ten years of making music with her bespoke Helge Grawert violin through Geburtstag, a collaborative project with composers Connor D’Netto, MJ O’Neill, Chris Perren and Kezia Yap. The result is a set of four new works exploring a wide range of approaches to the instrument, including densely layered live-looping, live electronics producing ethereal spectral effects, a duet with a mechanical metronome, and of course the powerfully expressive solo violin.
