Echoes

Join us to explore the rich tapestry of Australian music infused with the vibrant influences of Asian culture. East meets west in music by Anne Boyd, Andrián Pertout and Brendan Collins. Acclaimed clarinettist Lloyd Van’t Hoff joins us for a concerto by Australian composer Julian Yu. The concert includes works for strings by eclectic Canadian composer Vivien Fung and Japanese composer Yasushi Akutagawa as well. Let the resonant voices of Echoes transport you through an exploration of cultural and artistic innovation in contemporary music.

“When I first began visiting Australia in 2009, I was struck by its proximity to Asia — not just geographically, but culturally and historically. I started to uncover layers of exchange: ancient trade routes, waves of migration, and a deep, ongoing dialogue between cultures. As someone who lives and works within classical music, I became fascinated by how this interplay shaped the music being written here. I began to hear echoes of Asian traditions in the work of Australian composers. Echoes is my way of exploring and sharing this sonic conversation.” — Adrian Davis, Artistic Director
