RUTHLESS JABIRU & ENSEMBLE OFFSPRING: BLACK ICE

Known now as BLACK SUMMER, the Australian wildfires of 2019–20 scorched an area three quarters the size of the UK. Lives, livelihoods, ecosystems, built structures, physical and mental welfare, entire species of fauna and flora were all decimated. But in the aftermath of untold destruction, there was a glimmer of hope: a re/turning to First Nations leadership on land management through cultural burning.

Join RUTHLESS JABIRU and ENSEMBLE OFFSPRING, together for the first time, for an imagined foray into the sound and emotional landscape of bushfire—told through the music of our composer contemporaries.

Trio V presents a benefit concert of chamber music in support of Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI).

The programme offers a vibrant, folklore-resonant journey through works by Dvořák, Kodály, and Bacewicz. 

All proceeds will go towards Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI). A range of Pay What You Can options are available at checkout, please give as generously as you can.

The event is supported by The New Israel Fund UK.

Sunday 6 July - I will be joining CoMA Ensemble in a performance of
MARCH by Uri Agnon

MARCH is a powerful and joyful exploration of the rhythms, dynamics, and emotions of political marching, blending monologue, mass protest and an absurdist game show.

Commissioned by Contemporary Music for All (CoMA) and written by composer and theatre-maker Uri Agnon, MARCH brings together local professional and amateur music-makers, director-conductor Matthew Hardy and narrator Elisabeth Gunawan to interrogate the concepts of protest together.

Part of New Music Biennial, this event includes two performances of the same work and a short interview with the creative team in between the two, enabling audiences to experience the second performance with greater insight into the creative process.
Matthew Hardy conductor

Elisabeth Gunawan narrator
