Muses Trio are some of Australia’s leading and most exciting musicians in contemporary classical music, known for their edgy, spine tingling and virtuosic performance style. Muses principal artists are Christa Powell (violin), Louise King (cello) and Therese Milanovic (piano). Muses Trio celebrate music composed by women, performed by women, and focus on bringing this relatively unknown, yet vastly deserving collection of works to the stage and enthralled audiences. Signatures of their carefully curated public performance events are guest speakers/ performers with an inspiring cause, and a focus on creating memorable experiences. Discovering, inspiring, collaborating, commissioning, connecting and supporting creative women to pursue and share artistic excellence drives the passion and impetus of their artistic focus. They have released four albums: The Spirit and the Maiden, Celebrating Clara, Music for Calm and Catharsis, 10 Years, and also recorded for ABC Classic’s Women of Note Vol 3 and 4. In 2020, they received the ABC Fresh Start Fund to commission and record Fire Dances for ABC Classic, comprising of a short dance from a women composer in each Australian state and territory, reflecting on the 2019-2020 devastating bushfire season. Muses celebrated their tenth anniversary in 2023, with highlights including their debut EP for Corella Recordings, The Road Not Taken, and their new release, 10 Years, which was ABC Classic FM's Album of the Week. www.musestrio.com
