Adelaide Festival: Wind & Glass

Two unique facets of Australian music will feature in this exciting collaboration. The manikay songs performed by the Young Wägilak Group from South-East Ainhem Land form part of the world's oldest continuous musical traditions.

These beautiful, rugged songs of time and space will be performed in a setting never before attempted, realised by composer-performer Erkki Veltheim in Tract; the very old side-by-side with the very new. In his new work Glass, John Rodgers has created a concerto for improvising virtuoso Scott Tinkler, recognised as one of the most exciting voices on his instrument.

We will also hear music from the vibrant pop-influenced Neon by Tansy Davies and The Sinking of the Titanic by minimalist master Gavin Bryars with electronic material by Aphex Twin.

There will be a post-concert Festival talk at 7.40 in the Auditorium.
