Event Details
Join us in the intimate surrounds of Flute Tree Studio for Sunday afternoon of art music! KEYNA WILKINS "A powerhouse player with taste" JAZZ JOURNAL UK "Arresting, genre-blurring, disquieting music of massive breadth and high drama" SYDNEY MORNING HERALD Keyna Wilkins is a pioneering Australian/British composer-musician. She is a two-time finalist for the Australian Art Music Awards for Individual Excellence in 2021 and 2018 (APRA/AMCOS). As an innovative soloist her solo show explores stream-of-consciousness improvisations alongside her composed pieces, often using loop pedal and visual projections and inspired by contemporary human rights issues, astronomical phenomena and thoughts. Her latest album was a collaboration with a 9 years detained poet-artist refugee held in an Australian detention centre. She has performed her solo show around Australia. She has released 9 albums of original music and had 60 compositions published by Wirripang. While classically trained in UK, Germany and Sydney Conservatorium, she has branched into jazz, flamenco, live theatre and has studied intuitive conceptual improvisation with Tibetan Buddhist musician Tenzin Cheogyal. www.keynawilkins.com
DREAMS OF FALLING Perhaps the only violin/harp/drums trio on the planet, Dreams of Falling consists of John Shand (words, percussion) Rebecca Daniel (an 18th-century violin) and Martyn Cook (an electric Irish harp of his own devising). The diaphanous music they make variously employs Celtic folk traditions or improvised soundscapes and dialogues. These music can be an end in themselves, or used to frame the poetry of John, a Walkley Award-winning writer, which may be meditative, searing, humorous, erotic or surreal. The upshot is a series of sonic dreams in which to forget a more prosaic world. www.johnshand.com.au
