Lisa Goldberg did her graduate study at The Institute of the Arts (A.N.U.) with Richard McIntyre, she spent a few years freelancing with various orchestras around Australia including the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Canberra Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra. She also received some very influential masterclasses in the ANAM (Australian National Academy of Music) program during her studies. She was introduced to the baroque and classical bassoons by the talented and inspiring Simon Rickard, and soon began performing with him in the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and the Australian Chamber Orchestra. In 2002 she travelled to The Hague to undertake study on historical bassoons at the Koninklijk Conservatory with Donna Agrell with a grant from the Ian Potter Foundation.
