LUCÉ <br/>‘Home’ MV
Luce Duet is a Melbourne-based cello project by Charlotte Kube and Wendy Ju.
‘Home’ captures the journey of these two cellists— Charlotte, who grew up in regional towns around Australia, and Wendy, who grew up in outer-city Auckland. Both cellists met in Melbourne to pursue their common dream to be performing musicians. Their brand Luce (translating to ‘light’) is built on a passion to bring light to community and collaboration through the power of music. They have described their musical journey so far to be full of self discovery, in which their roots to natural landscapes have served as an anchor throughout their intensely busy grind in Melbourne city, where they have chosen to embark on their new chapter as performing artists. Luce believes these elements of personal identity and ‘Home’ are what connect them to their collaborators, but also to their audiences.
This music video features the first movement of "Sonata for Two Cellos" by French cellist and composer Jean-Baptiste Barierre (1707-1747). This is the first work that Luce duet worked on together as a group, which they have performed in many concerts since their formation. This movement showcases a mixture of joyful dance-like motifs juxtaposed with beautiful melodic phrases that are beautifully reflected with visual elements of adventure and natural landscapes throughout this music video.
