Overview
Dead Language are a New York based trio who dedicate themsevles to breathing new life into old music. Based on the idea that scored music (as in, written for a play, musical, opera, ballet, television programme or film) can be seen as a dead language akin to Latin. Unfamilliar to some, forgotten by most.
Utilising aspects of the art world (theatre, visual art) and with the help of others, Dead Language are shining a light on forgotten songs and reinterpreting them for a contemporary audience.
Dead Language will be performing works by Morton Feldman, George Lewis and Bernhard Lang and will be accompanied by Graeme Jennings (violin) and students of Queensland Conservatorium’s New Music Ensemble and Jazz department. This is a one off show, so if you are at all interested in musical history or just keen for some soothing sounds, get to the Queensland Conservatorium on the 9th of October. Oh, and the show is free too - so there is another good reason to head along.
