“RITUALS”

Following their triumphant collaboration at the 2023 Sydney Festival, the multifaceted keyboardist and vocalist Lisa Moore and woodwind virtuoso clarinetist Lloyd Van’t Hoff formed CRUX – a duo mission – to explore, arrange, and perform recent and new commissioned musical works, alongside traditional and modern classics. Blending the warm, rich energy of piano and clarinet, this cross-continental Australian-born team have, in the 2023-2024 season, performed original and powerful programs in New York City, New Haven, Detroit, Melbourne and Brisbane – bringing audiences works ranging from chamber music duos, to solos with text, backing tracks, and visual projections, in addition to trio collaborations with guest artists.
