SUMMARY:Rubiks Collective:  The Big Idea – 10 Years of Rubiks Collective
DESCRIPTION:‘Incredibly personal\, strangely spiritual and ultimately deeply touching.’ – Limelight\nWhat if one idea changed everything? \nJourney through the sound of inspiration striking as Melbourne’s Rubiks Collective celebrates its 10th anniversary with a world premiere of The Big Idea – a genre-defying monodrama from Australian composer Matthew Shlomowitz and writer Vid Simoniti. \nAt the heart of the piece is a single character on the brink – a new idea blossoms\, a life unravels\, and we witness the tantalising chaos in between. Featuring celebrated vocalist and long-time Rubiks collaborator vocalist Lotte Betts-Dean\, The Big Idea is a story of ambition and artistic obsession that spirals from bluest desperation into delightful absurdity. \nMelbourne’s cult-favourites Rubiks Collective have established themselves as fearless innovators in Australia’s contemporary classical landscape. Hailed for creating experiences that are ‘incredibly personal\, strangely spiritual and ultimately deeply touching’ (Limelight)\, they continue to push boundaries with this production. \nCombining spoken word\, music\, and theatrical elements\, The Big Idea is an iconoclastic departure from monodramas like Schoenberg’s Expectation and Poulenc’s The Human Voice.  \nListen in as the ensemble shapeshifts from samba to Scandinavian jazz\, from late Romanticism to old-school Broadway—creating a sonic world as unpredictable as the human psyche itself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday 25 September 2025 – 6:00pm \nDuration: 1 hour (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\nTickets: Standard $37; Concession $30

SUMMARY:Melbourne Recital Centre:  Stephen McIntyre plays Schumann
DESCRIPTION:Explore a world of romantic imagination.\nLegendary Melbourne pianist Stephen McIntyre returns to the Primrose Potter Salon to present an intimate evening of Schumann at his most personal and poetic. \nOpening with the rarely performed Bunte Blätter (Coloured Leaves)\, this treasure trove of musical miniatures represent Schumann’s unpredictable genius. Ranging from tender lullabies to animated outbursts\, these compositions from some of Schumann’s most creative years were collected and later shared with the world as a cherished album of musical memories. \nConsidered one of the greatest love letters ever written\, Schumann crafted Fantasie in C while separated from his beloved Clara. A passionate masterpiece with soaring moments of heart-wrenching tenderness\, in McIntyre’s hands Schumann’s romantic spirit comes to life in what the great composer himself described as ‘perhaps the most impassioned music I have ever written.’ \nThursday 18 September 2025 – 7:00pm \nDuration: 1 hour 15 mins (no interval). Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \nRobert Schumann Bunte Blätter\, Op. 99; Fantasie in C\, Op.17 \nTickets: Standard $50; Concession $40

SUMMARY:Jasper Ly and Peter Dumsday – TENERA
DESCRIPTION:A celebration of trailblazing women composers.\nJoin Melbourne musicians Jasper Ly (oboe) and Peter Dumsday (piano) for TENERA\, a journey through time celebrating the legacy of women composers. As advocates for new Australian music\, Ly and Dumsday bring their musical sensitivity and dynamic performance styles to this powerful program. \nFeaturing works by contemporary Australian composers\, including Nat Bartsch\, Jessica Wells\, Laura Abraham\, and Helen Gifford\, each offering a distinctive voice and approach to the modern landscape.

SUMMARY:Speak Percussion: Pigeons
DESCRIPTION:Clay shooting—with percussionists in the firing lines.\nAnd… pull! \nPigeons is a clay shooting event\, but the birds are the musicians and pigeons are the ammo. Three robotic trap machines take centre stage. In unrelenting\, symphonic\, patterns\, they hurl hundreds of fluorescent clay targets at a wall of suspended\, resonant percussive objects. The musicians duck\, flap\, glide and slide among the projectiles\, in a frantic search for safety. Glorious music rings out—fragile\, violent\, poetic and heroic. It’s percussionist vs pigeon. Human vs machine. \nThe idea was hatched by Speak Percussion’s Co-Artistic Director Eugene Ughetti\, with a bunch of risk-taking collaborators who’ve been working to redefine the potential of percussion since the turn of the millennium.  Will their plan present a logical endpoint to our algorithmically massaged future? Or lead us on a path to broken bones? Either way\, it’ll be epic. \nSensory Warnings \nFlashing lights\, Moving lights\, Loud sounds. This performance contains heightened audio-visual content. There is unpredictable sound and visual projection throughout which may quickly change in volume\, tone\, brightness\, and colour. Sound sensitive audience members are encouraged to bring headphones. Earplugs available at the venue. There are no dominant light flashes or colour changes which occur more frequently than 3 per second. \nSaturday 14 June 2025 – 7:30pm  –  Duration: 1 hour 15 mins.

SUMMARY:Flinders Quartet Flinders Quartet at Montsalvat – Paavali
DESCRIPTION:Paavali Jumppanen joins Flinders Quartet for their 25th anniversary\, featuring works by Bacewicz\, Shostakovich\, and Beethoven.\nMelbourne has been lucky to have extraordinary pianist\, Paavali Jumppanen\, in our musical community as Artistic Director at ANAM. He joins Flinders Quartet in the opening concert program of their 25th anniversary season for not just one piano quintet but two! Graznya Bacewicz was an accomplished pianist and violin virtuoso whose deep knowledge of the instruments as a performer shows itself in her writing. Her piano quintet is evidence of her immaculate skill and mediates between folkloric impulses and the rigour of classical principles\, creating a sound world which is constantly delivering moments of unexpected beauty. \nShostakovich was so busy performing his popular new piano quintet on tour with his friends of the Beethoven Quartet following its premiere in November 1940 that he hardly had time to compose for six months. Flinders Quartet sets up this wonderful piano feast with Beethoven’s short but powerful Op.95 F minor quartet ‘Serioso’\, written at a time of personal despair and the only one he named himself. \nElizabeth Sellars violin\nWilma Smith violin\nHelen Ireland viola\nZoe Knighton cello\nPaavali Jumppanen piano \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLudwig Van Beethoven String Quartet No.11 in F minor\, Op.95 \nGraznya Bacewicz Piano Quintet No.1 \nDmitri Shostakovich Piano Quintet in G minor\, Op.57 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nSunday 18 May 2025 – 2:30pm \nMontsalvat \nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval).
