Event Details
Press, Play sees three of Melbourne’s most acclaimed and diverse musicians come together to engage listeners in an intimate and exhilarating musical journey.
Part concert, part theatre, Declaration explores musical works that demand of the musician to build a vulnerable and intense engagement with the audience, integrating breath, body and instrument to create a completely holistic approach to performance.
These works serve to challenge established musical traditions and dismantle the walls typically separating the performer from the audience, creating experiences that are at times, intriguing, confronting and enchanting.
The creative universes of these elite-trained classical musicians collide as they play, narrate, speak and sing to create a unique, whimsical, deeply personal and unforgettable musical experience.
Featured non-Australian music: Balter, Globokar
