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. Please note\, running times are approximate and subject to change. \nPlease note\, the performance of Pigeons on Friday 13 June will no longer go ahead. \nMelbourne Recital Centre \nTICKETS: Standard $69\, Concession $59

SUMMARY:Stephen Hough
DESCRIPTION:Experience one of the most distinctive artists of his generation.\nSir Stephen Hough returns for a one-night-only performance of Romantic era masterpieces. \nOriginally met with hostility and doubt from audience and artists alike\, Liszt’s Sonata for Piano in B minor is now considered a cornerstone of piano repertoire.

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).

Spending an hour in the company of bagpipes in a small space was perhaps not up there on my list of must-haves\, but initial curiosity soon turned to intense amazement. This is music-making like you’ve never heard it before. These virtuoso Breton pipers take the music of Philip Glass and turn it into a swirling\, mesmerising\, intoxicating brew of chants and tunes and vibrations. \nThe crowd soon turned from initial curiosity to transfixed participants\, each wave of sound moving the audience emotionally and physically. We all emerged changed\, from a powerful\, unique\, beautiful and intense musical experience like no other.

SUMMARY:Robin Fox presents Triptych
DESCRIPTION:A hypnotic fusion of high-art techno\, sonic mass\, and buzzing electronica.\nStep into the immersive world of Triptych\, the award-winning work from visionary Australian audio-visual (AV) artist and composer Robin Fox. Described as an ‘audio-visual space-time carving\,’ Triptych merges Fox’s two creative passions – electronic music and audio-visual mechanical synaesthesia. Using custom-built hardware to create simultaneous sound from laser projections\, what you hear is what you see. \nInspired by the pioneering work of Polish AV artist Stanislaus Ostoja-Kotkowski\, Fox channels decades of exploration into the synchronicity of light and sound\, pushing his art into bold\, uncharted territory. Uniquely mapped to each performance venue\, Triptych transforms the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall into a hypnotic fusion of high-art techno\, sonic mass\, and buzzing electronica – demanding a live\, communal experience. \nInternationally recognised for his work spanning live performance\, exhibitions\, and contemporary dance\, Robin Fox is the founding director of Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS) and Melbourne Recital Centre’s Artist in Residence for 2025. Fox’s critically acclaimed Triptych premiered at Unsound Krakow in 2022 and has toured extensively\, headlining Berlin Atonal\, Barbican (London)\, Ephemera (Warsaw) and Lincoln Center (NY). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday 30 January 2025 – 7:30pm \n\n\nDuration: 1 hour 45 mins (incl. interval).
