Event Details
The Virculum Collective is a group of four musicians who have been playing together for over a decade. The quartet features Spike Mason (alto saxophone), Richard Maegraith (tenor saxophone), Mark Lau (acoustic bass) and Tim Firth (drums). They first met at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and found they had a certain empathy playing as a group, and have continued to play together ever since. Although Lau now resides in New York City and Mason has since moved into the Wollongong area, the musicians have continued to perform in Australia and abroad and have even worked together long distance composing and recording music via the internet. The quartet plays mostly original music drawing from diverse influences such as jazz/improvisation, alternate rock and electronica. On a visit from New York, acoustic bassist/composer Mark Lau will be releasing his second Virculum album
