Lee’s Mosaic Storytelling

Lee Orszaczky, co-leader of the Sydney based music collective MOSAIC, spoke with Bent Notes about his family musical upbringing, including exposure to a broad range of great music; as well as some of his experiences as a music student at the Sydney Conservatorium of music – where he has co-created the MOSAIC collective – a group with an objective to play as much original music as they can.  Lee was inspired towards creating Mosaic when he participated in a workshop led by Sydney based group Ten-Part Invention.
