Event Details
The musicians of Syzygy Ensemble share a deep empathy with music of our own time as well as an unbridled desire to share this enthusiasm with audiences in a way that may stretch your ears but never slap you in the face.
Syzygy explores the concept of music as a persuasive tool, music as passionate argument.
The works range from Ives’ last violin sonata, which invokes the religious fervour of evangelical hymns in order to both pay homage to and mock the church-goers of his day, through to the very recently composed Old Kings in Exile by Brett Dean.
This moving work evokes a plea for the continuity of memory of those we have lost, and details the harrowing challenges faced by the dying.
Featured non-Australian music: Ives, Alvarez, Lehrdahl
