On August 17, a remarkable group of people came together to premiere my latest work, THE HORROR OF THE AVANT-GARDE(S) - concerto for piano, percussion, and large ensemble.

I'm still decompressing from it all but it's safe to say that it went extremely well — 'twas a very magical night.

This event was created in collaboration with artist director Tina Stefanou (The Opera Company) and to my utter surprise, we sold out the premiere and added a second show, which also sold out! The day after the performances, we recorded the work in a studio, which will be released some time in future, more details to come.

To everyone involved, and the audiences who came along, my deepest gratitude for supporting genuinely experimental music, collaborations and new modes of presentation.

The event would not have been possible without funding from Australia Council for the Arts and the University of Melbourne, as well as the support of Alpha60.

Here are some pictures from the evening taken by Sarah Walker. Video coming soon!
