Topology and The Kransky Sisters

Overview

Topology is a contemporary chamber ensemble. This means that rather than the standard chamber ensemble, they have a contemporary twist, often playing the work of contemporary composers, then adding a saxophone and piano to the traditional strings. They’re a bit different to your traditional chamber music makers, but still pretty conventional when compared with…

The Kransky Sisters, who are a weird but wonderful ensemble of quirky musical sounds, and even quirkier personalities.

Now, put these two groups together and what do you get? A musical encounter, that's what.

This meshing of musical minds happened by accident when Topology’s Robert Davidson was cycling through Esk in rural Queensland and he fell of his bicycle right in front of the Kransky sisters’ house. The generous Kransky's set him up on the couch with a crochet blanket, a lamington, and soon after Robert and tuba player Dawn Kransky were playing duets together.

This will be a night of hilarity as the two musical ensembles vie for centre stage, each with their own brand of musical genius. Eventually though, they will succumb and realise that the magic that Dawn and Robert created on the couch in Esk can be found once again if the two groups play in harmony. This they do, and we are all the better for it!
