Instrument play: Viola

Elizabeth completed a Bachelor of Performance and Pedagogy on Violin at the Queensland Conservatorium of music, studying with Elizabeth Morgan AM. After prompting, she picked up a viola and after discovering the deeper sounds, has never looked back.

Elizabeth describes her most notable performance being When times Stops with EDC. Performing on stage from memory with the story and physicality of the dancers moving around was enormously challenging and rewarding.

Elizabeth enjoys making music with friends in many smaller chamber groups. She has a passion for sharing music in rural areas. Her favourite thing about Camerata is touring to regional QLD and taking music to those who can’t easily access live music.

I love seeing the faces of school kids hearing an orchestra’s sound for the first time.

Alice made her first musical sounds on the violin when she was 7, but discovered her true voice on the viola at 15. From then on there was no going back; music was the only thing for her. Alice is equally passionate about string pedagogy and performance, and is very thankful that she has the opportunity to do both. She loves to travel and experience the sights and sounds of the world. Alice is very happily married to theatre sound designer and composer Dane Alexander, and enjoys attending plays and contemporary theatre just as much as concerts. If she has a spare 15 minutes you’ll find her in a comfy chair with a good book and a nice cup of tea. In addition to her life in music, Alice also coordinates a support network for refugee families on the south side of Brisbane.
