Aviva Endean

Aviva Endean is a clarinettist, composer, and performance-maker dedicated to connecting people with each other and their environment through attentive listening. Her creative practice opens up possibilities for collaborations, transcending the traditional in favour of a dynamic artistry which embraces the unfamiliar. Whilst deeply steeped in music, her vision extends beyond her primary artform to expand ways in which sound can be experienced and understood, and to discover new forms of expression that reflect the here and now.

Aviva has developed a profile as a significant force in Australian contemporary music. Her solo music has been released on Room40 (Lawrence English) and SOFA music (Norway), with solo and collaborative shows presented by major festivals internationally. She has worked in close collaboration with organisations including Chunky Move, Australian Art Orchestra, Chamber Made, and Liquid Architecture and is an ongoing member of Hand to Earth, The Cloud Maker, and Driftwood.
