Kammerklang 2009
May 28, 2009
Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Music Workshop
Music/Visual Art
A collaboration between established and emerging performers, composers and visual artists, Kammerklang 2009 is the first iteration of an annual concert project. 7 composers, 20 performers and more than 10 visual artists have been brought together to produce one of the most exciting student-based initiatives in contemporary Australian art.
Come and experience the atrium of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music transformed into an art gallery. The exhibition will include works, created in response to the concert program, by professional artists and students from Sydney College of the Arts (University of Sydney) and the College of Fine Arts (University of NSW).
Acclaimed, Sydney-based percussionist Claire Edwardes will premiere percussion solos: The Colour of Woods and New Ecstasies, and for solo and percussion and chamber orchestra: The Styx, accompanied by the Kammerklang Chamber Orchestra.
