Event Details

Built on a jazz/contemporary classical bedrock and with folkloric elements, Two Parts mimic and play, complement and contradict, create and evolve in real-time composition. Musical qualities of the Iberian Peninsula such as flamenco and fado are also visited. What results can be brash, delicate, passionate or furious. But this is just the beginning…

Devastatingly accomplished pianist and composer Mark Isaacs has been exploring the spirit of “duende”, the dark and soulful current that can run through even the most animated music. In meeting and playing spontaneous inventions with creatively versatile saxophonist Loretta Palmeiro he found a like-minded soul and a spirited duo was born. Loretta is the consummate saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist. An Australian Arts Council recipient, co-leader of the Spyglass Gypsies and director of Alma Orquestra, Loretta has played with Mara, Divergence and Sydney Jazz Orchestras, the Australian Symphony Orchestra, and is a casual musician with the QSO. Like Isaacs, Loretta's studies in music originated in the classical hemisphere and have been coupled with an explorative passion for improvised music.

Some of Two Parts perform all original compositions by Mark and Loretta. They have made several radio appearances and were enthusiastically received when they featured at the 2017 Sydney International Women’s Jazz Festival. With five years in the making this exciting duo will take listeners on a thrilling journey as they paint time with their new sounds.

"Loretta Palmeiro and Mark Isaacs unite as Some Of Two Parts to create music that is immediately engaging on so many levels. The ear and heart are transported through modern pastoral melodies, improvisations, abstract nuances, and a narrative that embraces contemporary classical, European folk, and jazz. I love their music." - Guy Strazz

"How do you describe music? All the usual adjectives for good music would fit my description of Loretta and Mark's "Some of Two Parts" collaboration. The music is indeed warm, excessive, honest, brilliant, educated, virtuosic, creative, innovative etc. In terms of sound it's hard to think of contemporary musicians extracting more beautiful tones from their chosen instruments. That in itself represents a lifelong devotion to musical performance. There is also a great balance between simplicity, innovation and variation. Beyond the adjectives it's lovely music!" - Sean Wayland
