Not to mention a rubber chicken or two… \nThrough the classical form of the ‘concerto’\, connections are explored between different worlds: solo/ ensemble\, classical/jazz\, instruments/ toys and serious/humorous. The work is also informed by the concept that these contrasts are the opposite ends of the same pole. \nThis is a rare opportunity for lovers of jazz\, classical and avant garde music\, and people of all ages who enjoy live music. Children are welcome and if are under 12 can see the concert for free. \nThis project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts\, its arts funding and advisory body and is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria. \n  \n [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artists” tab_id=”1452941644640-19a0de81-e87a0201-342dcb0a-2ec9a177-581a2513-a5c5d413-dcbb”][vc_column_text]Michael Kieran Harvey – piano soloist \nAdam Simmons Creative Music Ensemble:\nAdam Simmons – sopranino/baritone saxophones\, composer\nGideon Brazil – tenor saxophone\nCara Taber – alto saxophone\nGemma Horbury – trumpet\nGavin Cornish – trumpet\nBryn Hills – trombone\nHoward Cairns – double bass\nHugh Harvey – drums[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The Series” tab_id=”1485306753515-ca10d8c9-63b2″][vc_column_text]Concert 2: The Usefulness of Art\n24 – 27 August \nThis suite celebrates the qualities that art helps engender\, including acceptance\, empathy\, generosity\, compassion and faith. “The Usefulness of Art” has previously been performed and recorded by Origami as a trio and as a solo work for MONA FOMA.
