Event description
In association with ANU School of Music and ANU School of Art and in partnership with the Embassy of Italy in Canberra.
Concert introduced by Andrew Ford
Celebrating Luigi Nono and Larry Sitsky, two major figures in music from opposite ends of the globe, Venice and Canberra. Both captured the great existential dilemmas of the 20th century, each in their own idiosyncratic way. Nono’s oeuvre was rooted in political activism before softening into purified, other-worldly strands of sound transcending the here and now. Sitsky, now into his tenth decade, found his wings in pre-revolutionary China and embraced the ethnic origins of his family before settling in Canberra. His legacy is as prolific as it is lively and direct.
The Embassy of Italy will be serving a light lunch after the performance.
