Event Details
The Australian Art Orchestra returns to its jazz roots with a stunning new musical work inspired by the legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis. Widely considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Davis was at the forefront of almost every major development in jazz from World War II to the 1990s. Miles Davis: Prince of Darkness explores this extraordinary oeuvre through new arrangements of his seminal works, a performance of the original Gil Evans composition Sketches of Spain and a World Premiere of Anthony Pateras' Untitled which was commissioned specifically for this project.
