Madness & Confrontation

Event Date: 24/03/2019, 03:00 pm

Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra
The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra continues its spectacular rise with the first of the
2019 “In Celebration” concert series Sunday afternoon 24 March at Sydney’s City Recital Hall.

Madness & Confrontation takes its inspiration from the story of the orchestra’s founding artistic director
Richard Gill AO conducting Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro (based on the original play “Day of Madness”).
It was the late, much-loved legendary musician and music educator who, together with co-artistic directors
Rachael Beesley and Nicole van Bruggen, had the idea of establishing the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra.

Along with a selection of duets and arias from Figaro, Mozart’s well-known clarinet concerto is performed by
Nicole van Bruggen on basset clarinet – the original instrument for which the work was written.
The climactic piece is Beethoven's magnificent 5th Symphony - which ushered classical music into a new era. Its iconic opening four-note motif confronts and enthrals audiences even to this day.

The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra is directed by Rachael Beesley with soloists
Jacqueline Porter, Soprano; David Greco, Baritone; and Nicole van Bruggen, Basset Clarinet.

Alongside the concert is the first of the year’s companion education programs, Voyage of Musical Discovery, at the same venue a few nights later.

Each Voyage invites exceptional guest musicians to join the orchestra on stage, and together they provide listeners with live examples and explanations of the compositional similarities between historical and Australian contemporary works.
For the March 27 companion Voyage, entitled ‘Phrasing & Form’, acclaimed singer-songwriter, Lior will join the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra and soloists Jacqueline Porter and David Greco to explain and demonstrate the many methods that composers and performers utilise to negotiate phrasing and form in historical as well as Australian contemporary works.

Elysian Fields Debut Album Launch

Event Date: 14/03/2019, 08:30 pm

Elysain Fields - What Should I say
Note: The winner will also receive a copy of the CD on the night.

ELYSIAN FIELDS, Australia’s only electric viola da gamba band, has released its debut album What Should I Say? – a heady blend of jazz, world, folk, and early music.
Founded in 2015, as the brainchild of Australia’s only electronic gambist, Jenny Eriksson, in partnership with leading jazz musicians, saxophonist Matt Keegan and pianist Matt McMahon, Elysian Fields is an intriguing new voice on the local music scene.
Operating as a sextet with a unique combination – voice/violin, sax, electric viola da gamba, piano, bass and drums – the band creates a sound world which defies categorisation.

The album takes its name from the central piece, a remarkable new song cycle by pianist and band member, Matt McMahon, which sets four poems by Thomas Wyatt - lyric 16th century poet at the court of King Henry VIII – and reputed lover of Queen Anne Boleyn.
Among other tracks are “Elysium” – an epic work by Matt Keegan – and “Dark Dreaming” an original work by bassist Siebe Pogson.

Together with the other members of the group – singer and multi-instrumentalist Susie Bishop and drummer Finn Ryan Elysian Fields has appeared in numerous concerts and festivals, alongside early music gurus,
The Marais Project, and on ABC Radio National’s Music Show.
They are currently Associate Artists-in-Residence at Sydney radio station Fine Music 102.5 FM.

The band is an ongoing experiment in creating new, improvised and composed repertoire for the electric viola da gamba - of which Eriksson is believed to be the only Australian exponent.

The Realistic Joneses by Will Eno
Named Best Play on Broadway by USA Today and Best American play of 2014 by The Guardian, THE REALISTIC JONESES is a funny, moving and wonderfully weird meditation on the confounding business of being alive (or not). We meet two suburban couples who have even more in common than their identical homes and their shared last names. As their relationships begin to irrevocably intertwine, the Joneses must decide between their idyllic fantasies and their imperfect realities.

Russian Transport

Event Date: 12/03/2019, 07:30 pm

Russian Transport the provocative and disturbingly funny play.
A powerful and suspenseful drama, Russian Transport follows an immigrant Russian family struggling to survive in Brooklyn, New York. Fishy Productions, in association with Darlinghurst Theatre Company, is thrilled to be bringing Russian Transport to the Eternity Playhouse in March for its Australian Premiere.
Dark secrets emerge when a mysterious and charming uncle arrives from the Motherland. He tests family loyalty and preys on their weaknesses. Provocative and disturbingly funny, Russian Transport questions how far someone will go for the sake of family and the pursuit of the American Dream.
Russian Transport was playwright Erika Sheffer’s first play. Following its 2012 Off-Broadway World
Premiere, Erika received the Paula Vogel Award – “to an emerging playwright of exceptional promise”. Russian Transport was also nominated for the John Gassner Award by the Outer Critics Circle. After the New Group production at the Acorn Theatre took Off-Broadway by storm,Steppenwolf Theatre Co in Chicago had a highly acclaimed, successful season in 2014.
The Australian Premiere is directed by veteran director Joseph Uchitel. “In her play Russian Transport, Erika Sheffer presents a profound and uncompromisingly honest exploration of the recent emigration wave from the former Soviet Union to Western countries,” said Uchitel. “This is a complex, thought provoking, brave and confronting play. It is also compelling and extremely funny.”

FANTASM 1001 NIGHTS

Event Date: 09/03/2019, 07:30 pm

Spectacle aplenty in exotic international dance show
An enchanting ‘magic carpet ride’ of Scheherazade’s ancient tales about the adventures of Sinbad are told through Middle Eastern and contemporary folkloric dance in a one-off international spectacular coming to Sydney this March.
The timeless tales of Scheherazade and the heroes of Arabian folklore come to life when more than 20 dancers - both international and local -
dazzle Sydney in a variety of dance styles, set to a thrilling, original score by Paul Dinletir, (audiomachine).

The electrifying show is the brainchild of Bellydance Evolution (BDE), founded in 2009 by world-renowned US choreographer Jillina Carlano.
BDE explores, celebrates and reimagines Middle Eastern dance for the 21st century, fusing bellydance with other popular and lesser-known dance forms to take audiences on a spectacular journey. Bellydance Evolution has performed to sold-out crowds in over 20 different countries.
In Australia it is co-produced by local performer and director Jrisi Jusakos.

“We are so excited to have this opportunity to return to Australia with our fourth production, Fantasm – 1001 Nights, this time adding even over-the-top staging, spectacular handmade theatrical costumes and the addition of new styles of dance,” said Jillina.
Jrisi added that it was important for Australian audiences to experience a show like Fantasm,
where the world of Bellydance meets Ballet and Contemporary dance.
“It’s a kaleidoscope of colour, culture and excitement, highlighting multicultural Australia through dance.”
