Vanya Quartet Selected for AFCM International Masterclass Program 2025

The Vanya Quartet – Lucy Macourt (violin), Nick Miceli (violin), Clara Salzmann (viola) and Henry Say (cello) – were recently announced as one of five ensembles and duos selected to participate in the Australian Festival of Chamber Music's International Masterclass Program 2025, under Program Director Lloyd Van't Hoff (our Head of Woodwinds). Held in Townsville-Gurambilbarra in North Queensland from Friday 18–Friday 1 August (before and during the AFCM), this immersive experience for emerging chamber musicians offers direct mentorship from world-class artists, chamber music training, and professional development opportunities through lessons, masterclasses, and performances, while also providing industry insights from leading musicians and arts professionals. Congratulations Lucy, Nick, Clara and Henry!
