Event Details
Alice Giles AM is celebrated as one of the world’s leading harpists. First Prize winner of the Eighth Israel International Harp Contest, she has had a wide and varied international solo career, from London’s Wigmore Hall, New York’s Merkin, ‘Y’ and Carnegie Halls, to Mawson Station, Antarctica, and continues to tour annually in the USA, Europe and Asia.
She was regarded by Luciano Berio as the foremost interpreter of his Sequenza II, and as Director of the Seven Harp Ensemble (SHE) has commissioned many new works by Australian composers as well as a complete program of solo works for the electro-acoustic harp.
Alice was awarded an AM (Member of the Order of Australia) in the 2017 Queen’s Birthday Honours for “significant service to the performing arts as a harpist, mentor and educator, and through contributions to Australia’s musical landscape.”
Alice will present a diverse program including works by Salzedo, Debussy, Nigel Westlake, and Elena Kats-Chernin.
Featured non-Australian music: Salzedo, Debussy
