SUMMARY:Forest Collective:  My Heart by Danaë Killian
DESCRIPTION:An expressionist solo piano adventure.\n‘Nights I wander the world’s city streets\, looking for you and talking to you\, my heart.’ – Danaë Killian  \nForest Collective’s star pianist Danaë Killian (The Minotaur\, Labyrinth) returns solo to Midsumma 2026 in a thrillingly intimate performance celebrating the launch of her latest album\, My Heart (Move Records). Inspired by German-Jewish Expressionist poet Else Lasker-Schüler’s novel ‘Mein Herz\,’ Danaë’s piano performance flies on a magic carpet of spoken-word improvisatory poetic threads\, which existentially obfuscate the boundaries between Danaë and Else\, as both their hearts break. Music by Danaë’s real-life composer friends wraps around these shattered hearts like an exquisitely unction-soaked\, colourful bandage. \nMusic by Evan J Lawson\, Arnold Schoenberg\, Howard Dillon\, Christine McCombe\, Amelia Barden\, Colin McKellar\, Gregers Brinch\, and Danaë Killian. Words by Danaë Killian and Else Lasker-Schüler. \nThis performance takes place on Else Lasker-Schüler’s death day and Danaë Killian’s birthday. \nPraise for Danaë Killian: ‘Utterly mesmerising’ – Australian Arts Review; ‘One of Naarm-Melbourne’s piano treasures’ – ClassikON \n‘Das Anschlagswunder’ – Aargauer Zeitung \nThis concert is part of Midsumma Festival. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram \nDanaë Killian My Prussian Blue Heart for pianist\, tarot cards\, and piano (2017\, rev. 2024)\, movement 1 \nArnold Schoenberg Drei Klavierstücke\, Op.11 (1909) \nHoward Dillon Möbius for solo piano (2012) \nChristine McCombe Asphyxed (1991) \nDanaë Killian My Prussian Blue Heart\, movement 2 \nAmelia Barden The Seventh Centre (1992) \nColin McKellar Birth Music (2006) \nGregers Brinch Two Minds\, Op.73 (2004) \nEvan J Lawson Sikinnis III (2015) \nDanaë Killian My Prussian Blue Heart\, movement 3 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday 22 January 2026 – 7:30pm \n\n\nDuration: 1 hour 30 mins (no interval). Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nTickets: Standard $55 ($45 Concession) \nPlease note\, seating in the Primrose Potter Salon is General Admission. \nA Transaction Fee between $4 and $8.50 applies to orders made online and by phone.

SUMMARY:Forest Collective: It’s A Matter Of Time

SUMMARY:Forest Collective: My Heart
DESCRIPTION:“Nights I wander the world’s city streets\, looking for you and talking to you\, my heart.” – Danaë Killian \nMaverick pianist Danaë Killian will show the world her cracked and shining heart in a thrilling solo recital\, inspired by German Expressionist poet Else Lasker-Schüler’s provocative work Mein Herz: Ein Liebesroman mit Bildern und wirklich lebenden Menschen (1912). \nMy Heart is a musical escape from the scintillating\, but ultimately doomed artistic counterculture of pre-World War One Berlin\, so powerfully evoked in Lasker-Schüler’s novel. \nMy Heart is made of music by Danaë’s beloved local composer friends\, by Danaë herself\, and by Arnold Schoenberg\, Lasker-Schüler’s contemporary\, who once gave the poet money in a time of need. \nLasker-Schüler’s Berlin of 1911 bleeds through Danaë Killian’s My Heart into our Naarm-Melbourne\, and in so doing invokes themes of night-wandering\, soul-homelessness\, and starry yearning. \nA portion of the proceeds from this performance will go towards the creation of an album of My Heart. \nDrei Klavierstücke\, Op. 11 (1910) – Arnold Schoenberg \nMöbius for solo piano (2012) – Howard Dillon \nAsphyxed (1991) – Christine McCombe \nMy Prussian Blue Heart for pianist\, tarot cards\, and piano (2017) – Danaë Killian \nThe Seventh Centre (1992) – Amelia Barden \nBirth Music (2006) – Colin McKellar \nTwo Minds: Four Pieces for Solo Piano\, Op. 73 (2004) – Gregers Brinch \nSikinnis No. 3 (2015) – Evan J Lawson \nSaturday 19 October 7.30pm \nEleventh Hour Theatre\, 170 Leicester St\, Fitzroy VIC 3065\nWurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country\nLocated roughly 50m from corner of Leicester and Gore Streets \nAccessibility notice: There are steps upon entry to The Eleventh Hour Theatre. The Eleventh Hour Theatre has two steps to enter the venue\, and a third step to enter the performance space.  Unfortunately\, this means that the venue is not wheelchair accessible\, and may not be mobility aid accessible. \nTICKETS: $35 – $30 \nBook all three performances in this season with a 30% discount by using the promo code 3SHOW.

SUMMARY:Forest Collective: Folding
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Forest Collective’s Kim Tan\, Folding explores modern subjectivity and the inexorable relationship creativity has with the past. This entanglement is a metaphor for Kim’s own creativity and  the expression it finds within her body. Folding is layered with musings on the dialectic between past and present\, which find voice through early and new music\, period instruments and contemporary dance. \nThe centrepiece is a new commission for baroque flute and percussion by Evan J Lawson\, which reimagines period instruments beyond their historical context\, giving them contemporary expression through New Music. \nFolding will reach back in time to return the staid form of the ‘Baroque dance suite’ to its historical origins in movement and the body\, and will be given visceral modern expression through the haunting choreography of Ashley Dougan. This tension between stasis and fluidity will be further explored through interwoven improvisatory works\, with drone\, based on excerpts from Jordi Savall’s Lachrimae Caravaggio. \nKim Tan: Traverso flute\, performer and curator; Meredith Beardmore: Flute; Rosanne Hunt: Cello; Evan J Lawson: Artistic director\, composer; Ashley Dougan: Dance and choreography \nFriday 18 October 7.30pm \nEleventh Hour Theatre\, 170 Leicester St\, Fitzroy VIC 3065\nWurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country\nLocated roughly 50m from corner of Leicester and Gore Streets \nAccessibility notice: There are steps upon entry to The Eleventh Hour Theatre.
