Featuring
Warwick Adeney

Warwick Adeney was born into a large violin-playing family, and studied at the Queensland Conservatorium with a brother and sister. The three siblings joined the Theatre Orchestra in the 80's, and Warwick rose to be concertmaster in 1989, a position he held through the 2001 amalgamation with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra until his retirement in 2023. He now plays and teaches around Brisbane. He and his wife, Michele, a violist, raised nine children who all play and sing. Each week they sing Gregorian chant for a traditional Catholic Mass.
Warwick plays an early eighteenth- century violin, possibly by Carlo Antonio Testore of Venice.
