SUMMARY:ELISION: The Table of Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:For their performance in Primrose Potter Salon\, ELISION traverses the contrabass solo Table of Knowledge which gives this performance its title and refers to a section of the Medieval-inspired garden of the Cistercian Abbey of Royaumont in Asnières-sur-Oise\, France visited by composer Liza Lim in 2010. \nArrayed there were psychotropic and poisonous plants including some of the typical ingredients of a hallucinogenic mixture known as ‘witches’ flying ointment’: datura\, belladonna\, henbane and cannabis. These plants are understood in various traditions in Europe and Asia as ‘pharmakon’ – both poison and remedy\, where their potentially lethal toxic properties are employed for ritual and medicinal purposes. \nThe idea of dangerous\, compelling and wildly crafted sonic imaginations continues with a program comprising Richard Barrett’s ferocious and unrelenting splinter\, Einar Torfi Einarsson’s implosive and subterranean graphic score and trios for percussion\, harp and contrabass by Mary Bellamy and Dominik Karski which deliver energising and beguiling alternative folk music. \nELISION presents one of the most interesting contrabass performances from young virtuosi Kathryn Schulmeister and Rohan Dasika; rare flights of the imagination from some of the amazing composers of our time. \n\nSaturday 9 September 2023 7.30pm;    MRC\, Primrose Potter Salon \nDuration: 1 hour (no interval) Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $37 ($30 Concession)

SUMMARY:ELISION – Extinction Events & Dawn Chorus
DESCRIPTION:Ecological listening to more-than-human worlds.\n‘Humans are tuned for relationship. The eyes\, the skin\, the tongue\, ears\, and nostrils—all are gates where our body receives the nourishment of others. This landscape of shadowed voices\, these feathered bodies and tumbling streams–these breathing shapes are our family.’ – David Abram \nELISION is celebrated for its unique instrumentation\, close and long-term artistic relationships with composers\, its virtuosity and the deep commitment of its musicians to renegotiate and re-invent performance practice and technique. \nAbout the concert\nTheir performance in Elisabeth Murdoch Hall as part of New Music Days 2023 presents virtuosic new sounds from one of the world’s leading new music groups. Featuring works by the inimitable Liza Lim\, Mary Bellamy and Aaron Cassidy\, this thought-provoking program explores pertinent environmental issues of our time\, celebrating the world premiere of Aaron Cassidy’s new piano concerto. \nLiza Lim’s composition Extinction Events & Dawn Chorus is a major Australian work that has resonated decisively with ensembles and audiences all over the world. It contemplates the vast conglomerations of plastic trash circulated in the world’s ocean currents\, eventually ground into toxic fragments that sediment on remote islands and within the fish we eat. Liza has made a music out of relics of the past – a coarse sampling of ‘extinction events’ ranging from the spectral echoes of a creaking 19th century piano music\, to a faulty transcription of a recording of the last mating call ever heard of the now extinct Kauai O’o bird. \nMary Bellamy’s Enveloped uses two seemingly quite different instruments\, the cello and contrabass recorder\, to forge a new whole\, a new sonic identity. The work is made up of imaginary dialogues and points of connection and disconnection. \nThe piano concerto conjures images of white tie and tails\, it conjures images of Brahms\, maybe of Schumann or Tchaikovsky. This is not that! Scored for an unusual ensemble including recorders\, harp and a pedal steel guitar Aaron Cassidy’s concerto has been especially written for solo pianist Alex Waite who brings iridescent brilliance to creating this world premiere. \nPost-Concert Talk\nPlease join Liza Lim\, Aaron Cassidy and Mary Bellamy for a post-concert talk from 9.20pm – 9.15pm. \n\nThursday 20 April 2023 7.30pm; Elisabeth Murdoch Hall; Duration: 1 hour 40 mins (incl. interval) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $30 ($20 Concession) \nNew Music Days Three-Concert Package\nStandard $60 ($45 Concession)
