Monash University Academy of Performing Arts (MAPA) presents Wood, Metal & Vibrating Air, an exquisitely intimate six part concert series spotlighting the piano and featuring lauded Australian pianists Caroline Almonte, Stefan Cassomenos, Andrea Keller, Simon Tedeschi, Lisa Moore and Tamara Smolyar.
From May through to September these fine musicians, perform the works of classical, contemporary and avant garde composers immersing audiences in the musical worlds of Bach, Beethoven, Glass, Gershwin, as well as many more. Each recital will be an up close and personal, aural treat with the audience limited to just 150 people, who will be seated on stage of Robert Blackwood Hall with the performer.
Launching the season on Tuesday 3 May is Caroline Almonte’s Gold through Glass. Bach’s iconic Goldberg Variations will be threaded with fragments of Phillip Glass’ etudes, Metamorphosis and music from his film score ‘The Hours’.
