Intimate communication and thoughts experienced in real time entered performance culture simultaneously in the England of Shakespeare's monologues and the Italy of baroque vocal composition.

This concert places the worlds of the fearless Abbess Cozzolani of Milan and the opera celebrity and English immigrant Handel among more recent British experimental performance pieces, and a new ensemble communication by Melbourne composer Charlie Sdraulig.
