Latitude 37 (the latitudinal position which links Melbourne, Australia, to New Zealand) is an exciting new baroque trio, whose members were drawn together by their passion for historically informed performance of 17th and 18th century music.

Comprising some of the top graduates of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, only recently returned to Australasia, Latitude 37 represents a new generation of period instrumentalists, who share a unified interest to cultivate and communicate their art after many years’ extensive research, and experience, including playing with many of the finest ensembles and artists in Europe.

Drawing on the considerable talents and experience of Julia Fredersdorff (baroque violin), Laura Vaughan (viola da gamba) and Donald Nicolson (harpsichord), all accomplished soloists in their own right, Latitude 37 aims to re-invent period performance, embodying the spirit of creativity, the independence and the imagination that defines Antipodean culture.

Latitude 37 epitomises the intensity and intimacy of a trio: vitality, excitement and expressivity define its performances; improvising and taking chances inspires and delights.

If you're looking for early music performers with high artistic aims accompanied by technique to burn, fire in their bellies and belief in music performance as the living art it's meant to be, Latitude 37 will enthrall you.
