A stellar, international ensemble will unite in Castlemaine this Thursday to perform a program of chamber works by acclaimed local composer Anthony Pateras.
‘A Dread of Voids’ – Contemporary Electroacoustic Chamber Music will feature at the Castlemaine Town Hall for one night only this Thursday, February 16, as part of the ensemble’s whirlwind national tour.
The performance will feature Chewton’s own internationally renowned composer Anthony Pateras on piano and electronics along with vocalist Jessica Aszodi, Karen Heath – clarinets, Jonathan Heilbron – double bass, and Rebecca Lane – flutes.
Pateras told the Express this tour had been a year in the making.
“I’m delighted to share an overview of my recent exploratory chamber works with Castlemaine. I’ve been working overseas for 20 years, and living in Europe for eight of those; I feel lucky to have settled in such a beautiful and creatively open-minded community,” the composer said.
The evening will also include a free program of workshops and lectures, on topics including: Memory In Music (5pm), Microtonality and Tuning (5.45pm), Life as Creative Practice (6.45pm) and Compositional Techniques heard in the concert (7.30pm), followed by the concert event at 8pm.
Tickets are $25 full / $15 concession (cash only).
(Please note: The concert’s venue has changed from the Phee Broadway Theatre to the Town Hall).
