Event Details
ELISION presents a major concert of new music followed by a special late night event delivering a second version of Bryn Harrison's Double Laybrinth after Richard Dunn. This unique and fragile realisation involves seven instrumentalists, and the magic of the cembalom! Hypnotic, gentle swirling lines of sound infuse rich timbre and patterns.
Liza Lim's Axis Mundi understands the bassoon as a singing tree with the breath of the musician travelling hidden pathways through the knotted grain of the instrument. Breath and the movement of air informs much of this program; from Julio Estrada to the eruptive and commanding visceral Ciacco of John Rodgers.
This concert experience features two parts:
7pm - 8.30pm: Axis Mundi
9pm - 9.30pm: Special Post-Concert Show
