9 Mar 2010 New for old - the thrill of commissioning for the viola da gamba by Philip Pogson
Art reflects life and life is full of all kinds of interesting paradoxes. One of the delightful paradoxes for the Marais Project, an Australian ensemble formed in 2000 to perform the complete works of Marin Marais (1656 – 1728), is that, while we largely focus on old French music, we have learned at the same time to work actively with living Australian composers. In the process we have become somewhat addicted to the thrill of commissioning new music, regularly indulging in that delicious sense of expectation that comes from acting as midwife to a new work of art.
