Fragments is an international collaboration of leading Australian and European artists with a focus on showcasing the vocal chamber music of the most influential composers of the 20th and 21st century.
Performances combine soprano, violin, cello and piano to showcase virtuosic works, Australian premieres, and new cutting-edge visual techniques designed to enhance the musical experience and accessibility to this rarely heard music.
Fragments is a non-for-profit ensemble, created by Judit Molnar soprano and Brieley Cutting pianist based on Ms Molnar’s Doctor of Musical Arts project.
Our official mission is threefold: to provide outstanding Australian artists with a high- quality platform for their performances in Brisbane, to take amazing music out of ‘secret’ and ‘classified’ university halls and spaces, and to help ensure the adaptation of classical music performance to contemporary society in a way that attracts audiences of all ages.
