A thrilling and beguiling multi-space performance event from the recently-formed UNSW New Music Collective to inspire and provoke new and tantalising ways to engage with music of our time. Directed by music lecturer and performer Sonya Lifschitz, the program features some of the most inspirational and ground breaking composers of the 20th and 21st centuries who challenged and defied the Euro-centric elitist musical traditions of the time and gave us radical, politically charged and electrifying works.
Composers such as Rzewski, Andriessen, Lucier, Oliveros and Cage were inspired to bring to their audiences a collective experience of what the making of music had the potential to be - a radical and social act of freedom, choice, protest and play. All pieces in the program feature elements of indeterminacy, chance, contingency and improvisation, and are scored for open instrumentation often using graphic or open notation. Guaranteed to excite, enliven and thrill, and occasionally challenge and confront. We hope you can join us for this very special inaugural concert presenting dynamic and inventive musical works and featuring some of the brightest young stars among the UNSW musical community.
