Louise Devenish – Music for Percussion and Electronics

By on May 29, 2018 in

Enter a breathtaking world of percussive sound in Adelaide’s most haunting location, as one of Australia’s foremost percussionists extends the comprehensive sounds of the glockenspiel, the beauty of the vibraphone, and the deep resonance of gongs, through electronic processing, samples and sub woofers.

In association with South Australia’s history festival, Louise Devenish performs in Glenside’s Z-Ward – Adelaide’s decommissioned prison for the criminally insane. Featuring the work of Australian composers Andrián Pertout, Stuart James, Cat Hope and Kate Moore, Devenish’s ‘breathtakingly deft delivery and sculptor-like attention to detail’ will be complemented by visual projections mapped to the instruments on stage by New York artist Ross Karre.

Louise Devenish is the Head of Percussion at the University of Western Australia Conservatorium of Music, and regularly performs throughout Australasia, Europe, North America and the UK as a soloist and with ensembles including the Decibel New Music Ensemble and Speak Percussion. She was awarded the 2016 Australian Music Centre and APRA/AMCOS Art Music State Award for Performance of the Year.

In Adelaide for one night only.

The Met presents Cole Porter’s “High Society”

By on April 16, 2018 in

Meet Tracy Lord, the society darling, as she prepares for her wedding to the rich (but incredibly dull) George Kittredge. By all accounts it should be the wedding of the year, however things don’t quite go as planned!

With a grumpily precocious little sister causing a scene, the unexpected return of her despised ex-husband, Dexter and drunken old Uncle Willie’s wandering hands – the event seems destined for disaster.

To complicate matters and further add to the chaos, two snooping reporters threaten to expose a family scandal in a dubious gossip magazine.

As if things couldn’t get any worse, Tracy finds herself the focus of three potential suitors. Will she go through with the wedding as planned? Will true love prevail? Will the family scandal be exposed? It all makes for a hilariously entertaining snapshot of the lives of the rich and famous.
