Event Details
The Canberra Symphony Orchestra’s incredible Artist in Focus, oboist Diana Doherty, takes centre stage in Renewal alongside the Zephira Quintet in this year’s second Australian Series concert at the National Portrait Gallery. A long-time collaborator with Doherty, Ross Edwards is one of Australia’s best-loved composers, his vibrant, ecstatic music drawing inspiration from the sounds of the natural environment and the spiritual world.
Renewal will see Edwards’ atmospheric Water Spirit Song frame a concert featuring his wind quintet Incantations, as well as the world premiere of a brand new CSO commission by Indigenous composer and opera singer Deborah Cheetham, and Cyrus Meurant’s 2016 Monuments for solo oboe and musical drones. Led by Doherty, this concert will showcase the finest new wind music Australia has to offer, culminating in a performance for oboe and the sound of waterfalls played through audience smartphones.
For virtuosos of a different kind, explore the inaugural Darling Portrait Prize exhibition after the concert. The Portrait Gallery’s first prize encouraging the best in portrait painting.
