Event Details
Innovative composer and vocal pioneer Gian Slater has created a new work inspired by two of Australia’s most singular musicians, Andrea Keller and Simon Barker.
Māyā crafts compositions that harness the improvising worlds of these two inspiring musicians, who join Slater to form an interactive trio surrounded by the primal, wordless singing of acclaimed vocal ensemble Invenio.
Māyā is a Sanskrit word for a trick of perception – the illusion that our identities are separated, distinct from the rest of the universe, rather than expressions of that universe, inseparable from it. Likewise, a single musical identity emerges from an ensemble sound, at once unique and indivisible from its surroundings.
Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre and Gian Slater.
