About
Tasmanian chamber music duo Josie Riches (violin) and David Wood (guitar) present a program ranging from the 1800s to the 21st century that features music from Vienna to Buenos Aires, from composers including Diabelli, Piazzolla and Tadić.
Collaborating for more than a decade, Josie and David continue their tour of unique and historic churches and halls in Tasmania - the acoustics and aesthetics of these settings adding another dimension to beautiful and exciting music for violin and classical guitar.

The current St John's Anglican Church dates only to 1955, which is the youngest building to host a Riches & Wood concert so far! Nevertheless, the original timber church was constructed in 1888 and used until it was replaced due to it being too small for the size of the congregation. The dark and slightly imposing exterior of the present building conceals a lovely light and airy timber interior with a great acoustic for chamber music.
More information about both the original and current church buildings can be found at the Churches of Tasmania website.
