Bronzewing

The Boyd Music Series is a collection of the world’s leading chamber musicians and renowned soloists from western and eastern classical traditions, including Australian debut performances. Presented in collaboration with Sydney Opera House and performed at Bundanon’s award-winning Boyd Education Centre from May until November 2025, the concerts will showcase a rich landscape of sounds.

Bronzewing weaves old and new together in a spectacular, raucous combination. Donald Nicolson (harpsichord and synths) and Katie Yap (baroque viola and vocals) are two of Australia’s foremost period musicians, and together they catapult their ancient instruments into modern sound worlds.

Their music draws on influences from Hildegard von Bingen, JS Bach, and 70s electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre. Their debut work, Black Cockatoos is a 13-minute tour-de-force based on Judith Wright’s poem of the same name, evoking the unsettling moments before a storm, and the heavy wildness of the black cockatoo’s wingbeats.
