Work Overview

Polemiphony is a very 'tongue-in-cheek' music theatre piece that examines the profound influence of marxist dialectics on modern trends in Australian counterpoint. Not for the faint hearted, this work delighted audiences in Australia & Europe in the 1980s. It eagerly awaits its timely revival.
