Event Details
There are few areas where Elena Kats-Chernin fears to tread. Her Village Idiot, a 14-minute work for electric guitar, harpsichord, strings and percussion, continues her fascination with altered mental states and was composed to accompany an exhibition by schizophrenic artists. Golden Kitsch is simultaneously a post modern "toy symphony" using toy pianos and sleigh bells, an oblique tribute to the spirit of the Viennese waltz and a personal "take" on the morphing of the Viennese symbolist artist Gustav Klimt from avant garde icon to kitsch pop icon.
Featured non-Australian music: Schwantner, Adams
