Horizons - Classical Tickets

Horizons - Classical is the collaborative project of two emerging Australian composers-performers, Abigail Lui (violin) and Sophia Mackson (viola). Based in Brisbane/Meanjin, they fuse contemporary classical textures with a strong sense of place, memory, and landscape, creating intimate chamber music that speaks to Australian identity. Their work sits at the intersection of new art music and personal storytelling, inviting audiences to listen closely to the spaces between notes.

As a duo, Lui and Mackson leverage their training and regional ties to commission and perform new Australian works, expanding the repertoire for violin and viola with sensitivity and bold musical curiosity. Horizons is both a recording project and live ensemble that highlights how place informs sound, with a focus on Queensland’s cultural landscape.
