Atmospheric Shifts

Atmospheric Shifts explores the nature of the air we breathe, the daily shifts in our atmosphere which are responsible for the weather, the shifting atmospheric patterns which are connected to global climate change, and how music can hang in the air and affect the atmosphere around us.  

We have sought out collaborators from classical music, electronics, and digital art to create a performance that goes beyond classical music, and beyond music as the sole artistic medium, to ask audiences to contemplate the atmosphere around them. Not only in what they can hear, but also see and feel.

Join us for several world premieres, utilising traditional and extended techniques as well as live electronics and visuals to extend the sound of the orchestra and explore new ways of creating and experiencing music. 

Audiences of all ages are welcome and encouraged to engage in this exploration with us, allowing their focus to shift and settle on whatever aspect of the performance feels most natural.
