Sept 1st – Music of the Other
August 25, 2010
The Night Sky Since the dawn of time, the lights of the night sky have inspired human minds in the creation of myths and legends. Of these, the asterism known as the Big Dipper is one of the most outstanding and celebrated.
QLD Conservatorium’s Dr Kim Cunio (world instruments) and Dr Nicholas Ng (erhu | zhonghu) join forces with Heather Lee (soprano), Samjjana: Maia & Sahayak (flutes | hang), André Bonetti (percussion), Rebecca Frith (narration) and Philip Tyrer (animation) in this exploration of the Big Dipper in the spirituality and folklore of various old world cultures.
To open the concert, QLD Conservatorium connects with Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre (BeMAC) in a scintillating program of folk and classical music from Iraq and Turkey featuring Nawres Al-Freh (jozeh) and the dynamic Tulip Garden: Bilge Özgün (voice), Bill Anderson (ud), Kelly Dowall (ney | clarinet), Jordan Stamos (percussion).
