About Aimee Brown
Aimee will speak about the award, her aspirations and share the wonders of the recorder in an intimate performance.
Aimee is currently in her first year of a Masters of Music in Musicology where she is developing a system for musicians to better improve their experience of playing 18th Century music for dancers.
Aimee grew up in Armidale where her passion for both music and dance developed. She moved to Sydney in 2016 to undertake a Bachelor of Music in Historical Performance, achieving First-Class Honours. In 2018 she spent Exchange Semester at the Royal College of Music, London. In 2019 she won the prestigious Henderson Travellers Scholarship for academic travel and attended the Renaissance and Baroque Workshops in Wolfenbüttel, Germany.
Aimee has been lucky enough to train with some incredible musicians and dancers across the world. Her desire now is to continue to share all she learns through these contacts with the Australian historical dance and music community. She regularly performs in historical music events, colonial dancing and baroque dance. She has performed at The National Folk Festival twice and multiple times at the Jane Austen Festival Australia. Most recently she has played recorder for Purcell’s ‘King Arthur,’ Sydney (2021), Ensemble Polyphome production of ‘Acis and Galatea,’ Sydney (2019), and Eastside Sydney Music Festival (2019).
Aimee currently works as an instrument tutor of recorder, seamstress and theatre usher and she volunteers as a Cat-Intakes coordinator and cat foster carer for Maggie's Rescue, all while battling a chronic illness. This award will help her to focus more time on her studies and bring her research to an audience through performance
Bookings are essential for both In Club and Zoom.
