Events

UQ staff members Courtenay Cleary (violin) and Alex Raineri (piano) present three masterpieces of the duo repertoire; Messiaen’s glistening 'Thème et variations', Adams’ hypnotically groovy 'Road Movies' and Strauss’ epic 'Violin Sonata in Eb'.

Indie-Chamber group Nonsemble will be joined by vocalist, composer and researcher Jo Davie. Jo will showcase her beautifully crafted songwriting with accompaniment from Nonsemble, and will also lead selections from our 2016 EP of chamber-pop songs, Spaceship Earth. The program will be rounded out with favourites from Nonsemble's 10-year history.

Join the UQ Brass Ensemble and their director Bob Schultz for a morning concert at St John’s Cathedral.

An ensemble of UQ student improvisers will invent music in real time, responding to each other's visual and audible cues, creating melodies, rhythms, riffs, grooves, textures and soundscapes that constantly shift and develop. The culmination of a semester-long course in Creative Music Making.

The UQ School of Music throughout the year promotes excellence in performance and composition by inviting students to participate in a range of competitions. This concert will feature students who were winners in the O’Brien Family Wind and Brass, Ethel Osborne Vocal, Burnett William Wendorff Memorial Prize for Classical Piano, and Richard Pollett String competitions.

MATERIAL weaves delicate foley, live percussion, droning feedback and pulsing synths together into a seamless performance both contemplative and relentless in equal measures. Created and performed by composer/producer Connor D’Netto and performance artist Yvette Agapow, the collaboration draws on their shared contemporary classical, ambient and noise music practices, meditating on both the materials and the materiality of art and the work of artists.
