Melbourne chamber music group Six Degrees Ensemble specialises in Australian, contemporary and lesser-known works. Their invigorating concerts typically feature six or more artists that includes a rotating line-up of guests and an exciting variety of instruments in the spotlight.
Their performance in Primrose Potter Salon uses distinct textures and instrumental combinations inspired by the cosmos above us. An immersive repertoire of Elliot Gyger, George Crumb, Somei Satoh, Robert Schumann, Richard Rodney Bennett and Hildegard von Bingen reveals the multilayered and multidimensional timelessness of the celestial world. In this concert Six Degrees Ensemble combines sitar, piano, percussion, piccolo and bass flute, cello and two vocalists to create a distinctive program. A shimmering constellation of music inviting audiences to reach for the stars and celebrate creativity in all its forms.
