Kupka's Piano: Extra Mural

Overview

Another year, another multi-part concert by new music ensemble Kupka's Piano, but don't go thinking the Brisbane-based group is simply repeating themselves. The youthful collective profiles the best and latest from European, Australian and international modern art music — and they really do mean that.

Indeed, supporting emerging creatives and showcasing first-time works is all part and parcel of the Kupka's Piano experience, truly offering performances of the never-seen — or heard — before variety. In Shivering, Confined, Expiring, the first show in the Extra Mural season, four world premiere pieces feature, each by a young local composer.

The concert is a preview of a collaborative project with MakeShift Dance Collective, interspersed with conversations with the musicians, dancers and composers about its evolution. The full version will be unveiled in October, another component of a series that endeavours to step beyond the ensemble's usual boundaries, taking a good look at themselves, their world, and their place in all of space and time.
