Shrishti/सृष्टि and Ensemble Mania present TBC @ Cross St Music Hall, Friday 28th November 2025.

Shrishti is to the promotion of diverse experimental music, embracing improvised, notated, and electronic approaches to music-making. Ensemble Mania brings a focus on platforming music that might otherwise remain unheard, including works by living, local, and otherwise underrepresented artists. This concert brings our two groups together for the first time!

In this concert, we celebrate the 80th birthday of the trailblazing Korean composer, Younghi Pagh-Paan. Alongside four pieces from across her career, we present work from her student, Palestinian composer Samir Odeh-Tamimi, plus other East Asian music by Pagh-Paan's contemporaries and the younger generation.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Eastern Kulin Nation on whose lands we live, make, and share music. Sovereignty was never ceded; these lands, waters and skies always were and always will be Aboriginal Country.

We will take a short break of 15-20 minutes in the middle of the show, according to the following schedule:
