Concert schedule
Tuesday 24 November, 7 pm: Poetry of Knowledge (#1)
Curated and directed by Louise Devenish (alum 2003, percussion), this program traces a decade of composers listening to science following Bree van Reyk (alum 1998), Kate Milligan (ANAM Set 2022), Augusta Read Thomas, Thomas Meadowcroft (ANAM Set 2021).
Thursday 26 November, 6pm: Music of the outdoors (#2)
This concert turns its lens into a microscope and focuses on the world beneath our feet and the sounds normally too hidden to notice.
Thursday 26 November, 8:15 pm: Reeds and Bow-Hair (#3)
What does pastoral music sound like in today’s society when it doesn’t necessarily share the spiritual tenets of the “Classical” era? What happens when this is all broken and set alight?
Friday 27 November, 6pm: City Lights (#4)
Cityscapes have always found their way into music through the people who have lived in, imagined, and 'heard’ them. This concert is an ode to urban life as four composers have heard it.
Friday 27 November, 8:15 pm: Passion of life (#5)
The festival closes with the intensity of human passion. This music doesn’t need to move through grand gesture but rather through beauty, loss, love, and emotion felt straight to the soul.
About the festival
ANAM’s Chamber Music Festival includes beloved chamber music classics, early music gems, world premieres, a stream of new Australian works and everything in between. Curated by ANAM's Artistic Director in his final Festival, there is a diverse and unique selection of repertoire performed by the full cohort of ANAM musicians, unfolding across five concerts in the spaces of Abbotsford Convent in spring.
