Aviva Endean

Aviva Endean is an artist dedicated to fostering a deep engagement with sound and music, with the hope that attentive listening can connect people with each other and their environment. Trained as a clarinetist, she works as a composer, clarinettist, improviser, curator and performance-maker, and creates unusual, spatially engaged, and participatory contexts for listening.

Recent works include creating the sound score for ‘Token Armies’ by Chunky Move (winner of a Greenroom award for best sound for dance 2020), releasing her debut solo album ‘cinder : ember : ashes’ (which became a finalist for the Melbourne Prize for music 2019) and working as Associate Artist with The Australian Art Orchestra as the inaugural recipient of the Pathfinders Music Leadership position. In 2021 Aviva is artist in residence at the Peggy Glanville Hicks composer’s house.

Aviva was Guest Curator for the 2021 iteration of Chamber Made’s Hi-Viz Practice Exchange working alongside Amos Gebhardt and Stéphanie Kabanyana Kanyandekwe.
