Event Details
Considering tradition is fundamental for composers when they create new pieces of classical music; just as it is for contemporary visual artists. In this concert for cello and piano, contemporary composers respond with three new and very recent works to historically important pieces of Australian music for these instruments. This concert includes a new arrangement of a work written in 1937 by the pioneering composer Miriam Hyde, who never received the attention she deserved, as well as a newly commissioned work by Canberra composer Leanne Bear.
