Oscar and Marigold perform at theatre

Oscar and Marigold will be performing at the Peninsula Theatre, Woy Woy, on Friday, September 23.

Oscar and Marigold, played by Kim Curio and Heather Lee, have built an international reputation with their performances of sacred music from around the world.

Both are currently supported by ABC Classics and Publishing, and are bringing their innovative music to Australian audiences through a commitment to regional touring.

Kim Cunio and Heather Lee are both doctoral students at the University of Western Sydney.

Heather Lee is an award winning singer and soloist who has performed in many of the leading venues and companies of Australia including with the Victorian State Opera and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, at the opera house and in the Cameron Macintosh Cats tour of Australia and New Zealand.

Kim Cunio is a composer, music historian, instrumentalist and singer who is equally at home in reconstructive, contemporary and classical music forms.

Oscar and Marigold have had a long history of professional musicianship.

They have recorded a disk for ABC Classics writing and arranging lullabies from around the world, and have toured regional Australia.

They were also commissioned by ABC Television to write new music on the theme of Islam which will shortly be released by ABC Classics.

In addition to this they are preparing to record the music of the first known woman composer Hildegard Von Bingen (1098-1179), a project in which they will write new pieces based on the modes and scales of Hildegard's writing, again for ABC Classics.
