MM Exposed - Aviva Endean

Composer, clarinetist, improviser and performance artist Aviva Endean is Artist in Residence during Music Meeting 2024. This special Australian musician dedicates her artistic life to connecting people and their environment by making them listen attentively to the unknown between sound and music.

Endean creates remarkable sonic landscapes in which she also actively puts the listener to work to discover new sounds, such as during the projects Face Like Yours and HearMuffs that she presents during Music Meeting. Her solo debut cinder : ember : ashes was nominated for the prestigious Melbourne Prize for Music 2019. Her latest album is called Moths and Stars.

Fun facts are that Endean's mother is Dutch and her grandfather was born in Nijmegen. Aviva's visit to Music Meeting is therefore also a return to her roots.
