THE JANETTE HAMILTON STUDIO The Janette Hamilton Studio is a rehearsal, recording and workshop space located within Musica Viva House in Sydney, supported by a generous bequest from long-term subscriber, Janette Hamilton. It houses a Steinway grand piano, donated by valued subscribers and donors Ruth and Bob Magid and Nora Goodridge, in honour of their mother, Ira Magid. Alongside the Kim Williams Digital Production Suite, the facilities allow filming, recording and real-time communications, all of which were used extensively as a response to COVID-19. Juliet Tootell, Julie Matthews and Andrew Blanckensee 2020 saw a 24% increase in use of the Janette Hamilton Studio from 2019. Working under health guidelines from July, the Studio hosted a range of external users, from university students who needed venues to rehearse and record, to arts organisations, including Ensemble Offspring, The Song Company, and Music In My Suitcase in the Janette Hamilton Studio during the very first MVIS Online broadcast Sydney Youth Orchestras. Demonstrating the space’s versatility, it was used for private rehearsals, recording, mixing and live streaming.

In October and November, the Janette Hamilton Studio hosted NSW students from the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) who were unable to study in Melbourne. The students participated in rehearsals, Dan Sloss and Malcolm Gillies workshops (live and remote), and a live stream with William Barton and Véronique Serret as part of ANAM’s webinar series. These activities culminated in the students having their recitals professionally recorded for their assessments.

“The studio was awesome and I will definitely be coming back!” samantha chiu

The Janette Hamilton Studio hosted three digital classes: the Goldmund Quartet, Diana Doherty and Mat Greco working with students from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, the University of Western Australia, and Monash University respectively.

The JHS continues to prove to be a vital resource for Musica Viva - in 2020 this included the development of MVIS Online, the Queensland MVIS online tour of Taikoz as well as masterclasses. Paul Kildea with Donors Sue and Ray Edmondson
