SHUFFLE-PLAY: An evening with the Australian Art Orchestra
Event description
The Australian Art Orchestra will explore the sonic potential of Coburg Town Hall, centering its famous organ in a series of commissioned works composed by AAO Artist Director Aaron Choulai and Associate Sofia Carbonara. Simply, the SHUFFLE - PLAY program will be a fun and frankly, unmissable exploration of sound and space.
In a concert celebrating the Coburg town hall organ, the Australian Art Orchestra will present a program of newly written works, solo, duo and trio performances, exploring the sonic and spatial potentials of the Coburg Town Hall – from inside the organ itself, to the upper balcony. Premiering two newly commissioned works composed by AAO Artistic Director Aaron Choulai, and AAO 23/24 Associate Artist, Sofia Carbonara, SHUFFLE – PLAY embraces the playfulness in music of cabaret, silent film, and cartoons, while employing extended techniques on acoustic instruments, the unexpected use of everyday objects/gestures, and the idiosyncratic individual musical languages within the Australian Art Orchestra.
