Music Team

Olivia is a composer, singer and choral conductor based in Canberra, Australia. She has completed a Masters with Paul Stanhope at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, researching contemporary examples of madrigals. She is a graduate of the ANU School of Music, where she studied under Larry Sitsky and Jim Cotter. 

 

Olivia sings with both The Australian Voices, and the sextet Sidenote, touring with these groups around Australia and internationally. She directs Kompactus Youth Choir and the long-running Woden Valley Youth Choir, now in its 53rd year. As a composer, she has been commissioned by various choirs including the Sydney Children’s Choir, The Australian Voices and the Sydney Chamber Choir.

Lucus Allerton graduated from the ANU School of Music with Honours in Piano in mid-2013. He is yet to regret that, which makes him happy.  At the piano, Lucus enjoys ensemble and piano accompaniment work most of all, in 2012 winning the overall Margaret Smiles Accompaniment Prize (and in 2010 winning the prize for Best Vocal Accompanist), and reaching the finals of the Sydney Eisteddfod’s 2013 Victoria Jennifer Warren Piano Accompaniment Award.

​

Lucus has very much enjoyed a number of musical partnerships and ensemble memberships, both during and after his time at the School of Music, and cherishes the friendships that have arisen from these experiences.
