SUMMARY:Divisi: Human Instrument
DESCRIPTION:What is the voice capable of? \nThe Human Instrument is a bold concert experience exploring the full expressive range of the human voice. \nIn this program\, Divisi positions the voice not just as a vehicle for text and melody\, but as an instrument in its own right: percussive\, theatrical\, intimate\, virtuosic\, and communal. Expect moments of breathtaking beauty alongside works that stretch the limits of what voices can do — whispers\, rhythmic propulsion\, extended techniques\, and rich harmonic tapestries. \nFeaturing a newly-comissioned world premiere by Xiaole Zhan\, music by leading Australian composers\, and reimagined masterworks\, this performance showcases Divisi’s commitment to new commissions\, fearless programming\, and the celebration of the voice in all its forms. \nAt once visceral and refined\, ancient and new\, The Human Instrument invites audiences to hear the human voice as they’ve never heard it before. \nDon’t miss out on this amazing experience. \nApril 17th\, 8:00 pm. \nTemperance Hall\n\n199 Napier St\, South Melbourne VIC 3205\, Australia\n\nCastlemaine Art Gallery\, April 19th\, 6:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Rubiks Collective: Rorqual
DESCRIPTION:In the northeast Pacific in the late 1980s\, oceanographers detected a uniquely high-pitched whale song that had never been documented before. It seemed to be coming from a single individual. Scientists dubbed it the ‘52-Hertz Whale\,’ and continued to record it whenever its song was detected. To this day\, the whale continues to sing\, but has never been sighted\, nor been identified by species. Its migration patterns resemble those of the rorqual whale family—blue and fin whales specifically—but its voice is much higher. The recordings suggest the whale has never found a mate or a pod; whether this is because other whales can’t hear it\, or do not recognise it as one of their species\, is not known. It has been called by some “the world’s loneliest whale.” \nRorqual takes the story of the 52-Hertz Whale as the inspiration for an intimate and affecting work that journeys through withdrawal\, solitude\, resilience\, and connection. Using found and repurposed texts drawn from the deep past to the present\, composer Wally Gunn’s song cycle fuses classical and indie-rock music\, and features the ethereal vocals of jazz singer Gian Slater\, the searingly precise musicians of Rubiks Collective\, immersive interludes from sound artist Tilman Robinson\, and dark dreamscape projections from film artist Chris Bennett. The show takes the audience from the ocean’s shimmering surface to its mysterious depths\, and back. \nJoin us for the world premiere season of Rorqual\, the story of this modern-day mythological creature that continues to sing its one-of-a-kind song. \nThursday 5th December\, 7.30pm\nFriday 6th December\, 7.30pm\nSaturday 7th December\, 2pm & 7.30pm \nTemperance Hall\, 199 Napier St\, South Melbourne\, 3205 \nGeneral Admission: $35 + booking fee\nConcession: $25 + booking fee \nON THE DOOR\, on performance days\nGeneral Admission: $40\nConcession: $30
