Cerebral Hemispheres

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

This programme spans several centuries, periods of music and the two hemispheres of the globe and the human brain! Alicia Grant’s composition The Maze is a musical labyrinthine adventure which suggests that life's path is like a maze. The familiar and evocative Oblivion from Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla provides a contrast to the Australian and German works, Mozart’s delightful and beautifully crafted Kegelstatt Trio and the lusciously romantic Eight Pieces by Bruch, four of which are presented in this programme.
