Halcyon has been performing stellar programs for twenty one years, full of rare and eclectic works from Australia and around the globe. They have commissioned, premiered and presented more than 250 works from over 15 countries and developed long relationships with composers, performers and institutions both here and abroad. With ever-changing combinations of seasoned chamber music performers in intimate settings, every concert is a fresh experience but the consistent craftsmanship and careful curation of each event is a hallmark.
In Nature, on October 12 at 8pm, is no exception and definitely one not to miss! The program features four world premieres by Larry Sitsky, Elena Kats Chernin, Melissa Hui and Madeleine Isaksson, the Australian premiere of Andrew Ford’s new song cycle, Nature and Matthew Hindson’s engaging Insect Songs, featured on Halcyon’s latest EP release Waves IV. The works, drawn from three continents and relationships old and new, feature texts and poetry from Australia, the UK, Finland, Sweden, France, Japan and China. Jenny will be joined by a fantastic line up of artists: flautist Sally Walker, cellist Geoffrey Gartner, guitarist Vladimir Gorbach, percussionist Tim Brigden with tabla player Maharshi Raval and soprano Jane Sheldon.
