Eve | 2022 Brisbane Music Festival

Three giants of contemporary composition sit side by side in this program of extremes. Adès’ ‘Court Studies’ compresses highlights from his opera ‘The Tempest’ (after Shakespeare) into a brief showcase for quartet - akin to a cyclone, but in a teacup. Adams’ minimalist duo ‘Road Movies’ is hypnotically groovy while Jake Heggie’s incredible song-cycle ‘Eve-Song’ depicts Biblical stories of Eve + Eden.
