Kupka’s Piano

Overview

Contemporary music ensemble “Kupka’s Piano” are taking their talents far and wide throughout 2013, in the search of exciting composers of younger generations worldwide. The Brisbane-based outfit will be exploring new developments and musical concepts while premiering the latest Australian works commissioned just for this series. Each of their concerts will showcase a selection of international works that are innovative and intriguing, and link to those that Australia have to offer.

Taking its name from Bohemian painter František Kupka’s iconic 1909 painting “The Piano Keys”, the ensemble aims to entice audiences into hearing new sounds, new structures, new musical ideas. It fills a gap in Brisbane’s music scene where the members, all in their 20s, focus on the works of their contemporaries.

The concerts will be hosted throughout the year, from March to September, and so subscription passes are available for those who wish to see all four at a discounted rate.
