Percius is delighted to welcome two new artists to its roster, violinist Emily Sun who is “on the verge of international super-stardom” (The Australian) and composer Taylor Scott Davis whose “inspired pen” (Opera Today) captured many hearts with his recent orchestra and choir works for VOCES8 and LIVE From London Christmas which were premiered on Classic FM and digitally around the globe. The New Year brings new music and new albums too - Percius is proud to unveil new releases by Rachel Podger and I Fagiolini, plus debuts for Jack Liebeck and Simon Crawford-Phillips.

Jack Liebeck celebrates a five-star season start with his new solo album release, ‘Ysaÿe’, released on 8 October. The Times newspaper hails ‘Ysaÿe’ as an “exceptional release" giving the album a five-star review and noting “an old-time virtuoso reborn, able to fiddle away with such a flourish that you expect his violin to catch fire.” Jack’s concert season opens in return concerto performances with orchestras including the Philharmonia and Santtu-Matias Rouvali, BBC Philharmonic and Bournemouth Symphony before he launches his first Australian Festival of Chamber Music as the festival's new Artistic Director.
