Music, She Wrote is a festival celebrating women in music. Since its inception in 2021, the festival has proudly presented Melbourne's finest local chamber musicians in diverse programs of classical, jazz, and folk music by female composers. 

On Thursday March 30 Rubiks will present 'Breaking Step', a program featuring just a few of the excellent works by female composers that Rubiks have performed, premiered and commissioned over our seven year history.

In the elegant setting of Alpha60 Chapter House, we'll be revisiting the nostalgic loops of Leah Blankendaal's Beacon, the beatbox glitch of Julia Wolfe's East Broadway and the driving rhythms of Gemma Peacocke's Sky-Fields. We'll also be sharing a special performance of the very first of our Pythia Prize commissions - aimed at addressing gender equity in Australian music - with Samantha Wolf's Want Not, an award-winning ode to discarded objects.

Join us in the live audience at Alpha60 Chapter House or on the livestream for a fantastic night celebrating these composers!
