MYRIAD: House Music, Volume 2

Following the success of volume 1, MYRIAD, the Percussion Ensemble of the Melbourne Conservatorium, presents another edition of House Music – an eclectic assortment of pieces written by our own ‘in-house’ composers, showcasing a small sample of the incredible talent we have in our community.

Composers featured in this volume of House Music include Miriama Young, Mark Pollard, Brynn Jacka, Peter de Jager, Steve Falk and Robert Cossom, including his brand-new arrangement of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition for 14-player percussion ensemble.

Special guests include:
Steve Falk, who joins us as soloist to perform a new arrangement of his work Panorama Birrarung for two soloists and ensemble.
Peter de Jager, who joins us as pianist to present his work Fractured Timelines with MYRIAD.

PARKING

The City of Melbourne has recently changed the parking restrictions around the Southbank Campus. Parking control hours are now expanded to 7am–10pm, seven days per week, and are capped at three hours. A $2-per-hour fee after 7pm is also now in place. There is no change to the $4-per-hour peak rate between 7am–7pm. Parking inspectors are regularly in the area fining drivers who overstay their meter, so we encourage everyone to be aware and avoid an expensive fine. 

ACCESSIBILITY

All venues at the Southbank campus are wheelchair accessible. To read more about access services available at our venues, please visit:  https://finearts-music.unimelb.edu.au/access-our-events.
