Lilly Yang Flute | The Waterlily Musicians

THE WATERLILY MUSICIANS

Lilly is passionate about delivering accessible music to the community that showcases local emerging classical musicians. These endeavours began humbly in 2021 when Lilly presented her first independent concert alongside Tijana Kozarcic as the Estrel Flute and Harp Duo (see below). Since then, Lilly has invited several other talented local musicians to perform with her in more than 10 concert programs across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Melbourne, and London. As Lilly's list of collaborators grew from these projects, she decided to establish The Waterlily Musicians - a rotating collective of Brisbane- and Melbourne-based classical performers. With The Waterlily Musicians, Lilly aims to continue exploring unique ensemble combinations to highlight even more emerging musicians while delighting audiences with an ever changing palette sound combinations.

Lilly has independently curated and delivered the following concert programs:
