We're delighted to be joined by cellist Dan Curro for The Language of Song on June 6!

Dan Curro is an accomplished cellist known for his eclectic musical interests and dynamic performance style. He began his cello studies with Helen Holt before continuing with Matthew Farrell, Roseanne Hunt, and later with Howard Penny. At the Queensland Conservatorium, Dan studied contemporary improvisation under John Rogers and Ken Edie, shaping his distinctive and versatile approach to music-making.

As a historically informed performer, Dan has a particular passion for 19th-century Western art music. He regularly plays baroque cello with ensembles including the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Badinerie Players, and Pinchgut Opera. Throughout his career, Dan has explored an abundance of musical styles, including baroque, classical, Latin, tango, jazz, hip hop, and contemporary music. Recently, his focus has been on performing new music with Black Square Quartet, collaborating with local composers such as Thomas Green and Robert Davidson. His work with the quartet reflects his commitment to innovation and his passion for expanding the boundaries of string quartet repertoire.

Come hear Dan at St. Brigid's at 7pm on June 6!
