Canon Fodder
The four acapella voices of Canon Fodder (Rebecca Daniel, Christine Wheeler, Rowen Fox and Henrik Eneberg) came together around love of music from the European Renaissance. Between the four of them are three choir directors, a professional concert violinist, a long-time stalwart of the Australian folk scene, a former member of the Sydney Philharmonia Motet Choir and of the Renaissance Players, a composer of opera and other vocal/choral works, and a Swedish-born pianist and opera singer who can teach ABBA before breakfast.
