Singing Stones featuring Alexandra Spence & Mara

For our seventh and final event at the Petersham Bowling Club for this year, we have invited a very special double billed line-up of Alexandra Spence and Mara. Mara Schwerdtfeger and Alexandra Spence are composers and artists based in Eora Sydney. With an intuitive approach to sound making that favours and explores the convergence of, and relationships between, environments, objects, memory, and listening, they have come together to explore the potential magic and intimacy of everyday sound. 

Performing with a changing array of sound sources – voice, viola, clarinet, handmade instruments, tapes, sinetones, bells, rocks, computers – Mara and Alex create structured improvisations that highlight their field recording and instrumental practices. Individually they have presented their work both nationally and internationally, and in 2027 will release and tour a new album together.
