Over many decades, Véronique has been fortunate to work extensively with Bangarra Dance Theatre, the Australian Chamber Orchestra and the Sydney Dance Company. As concertmaster of the Darwin Symphony, she has directed live string sections for artists including:

Véronique has played in bands with indigenous songman Archie Roach, been in residence with Laurie Anderson, and performed at major festivals including Barunga Festival, Garma Festival of Traditional Cultures, Dark MoFo, WoMadelaide and Woodford folk festival. She appeared as a soloist with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, performing Arvo Part’s ‘Tabula Rasa’ at the Sydney Opera House, and toured Europe and South America with Sydney Dance Company performing Bach’s ‘Partita No.2 in D minor’ to critical acclaim.

A regular in the recording studio, Véronique regularly collaborates with Australia’s film composers and can be heard on countless Australian soundtracks and albums.

Véronique co-founded the band CODA in the late 1990’s, and since 2010 she has performed as a multi-instrumentalist and backing vocalist in Joanna Newsom’s international touring band.

Véronique is now dedicated to the creation of new music and the exploration of sound through diverse collaborations. She is a member of art music group Ensemble Offspring and has her own duo project with didgeridoo legend William Barton. Their recent compositions together include ‘Bushfire Requiem’ (2020) – commissioned by Artology for Sydney Festival – ‘Songlines of our Universe’ (2021) – written whilst in residence at the Sydney Observatory – and ‘Heartland’ (2019) commissioned by Canberra International Festival of Music. Commissioned in 2020 by the ABC, ‘Kalkani’ was featured in the beautiful, award winning dance film 'Urritjara' by Tim Georgeson.

Véronique Serret

Véronique Serret is a violinist, vocalist and composer effortlessly bridging the divide between classical and contemporary art forms. Folk, rock, experimental jazz, dance and improvisation all contribute to her musical palette.

One of Australia's most versatile musicians, Véronique Serret is equally at home on the concert hall platform and the rock n roll stage. The ‘Girl from Guildford’ has carved a niche for herself directing string sections in studio sessions for rock bands, indie artists and feature films.

A soloist and collaborative artist, Véronique has deep gratitude for her early rigorous classical training and her many teachers and mentors along the way.
