Sirius Chamber Ensemble was formed in 2011 by Ian Sykes and Dr Alison Evans and is committed to premiering new works by Australian and international composers alongside classics from the repertoire in a friendly, accessible atmosphere.
The name ‘Sirius’ pays homage to the flagship of the First Fleet, the H.M.S Sirius that sailed from Portsmouth, England to Port Jackson during 1787-1788.
Recent and upcoming collaborators include composers Alan Holley, Eve Duncan, Christine Draeger, Dr Paul Smith, Dr Houston Dunleavy as well as composer and saxophonist Spike Mason with whom we recently recorded Flying, an album of new works for saxophone, winds, strings and piano.
