Elision

Overview

Established almost three decades ago, world-renowned Australian new music ensemble Elision are coming to Carriageworks in March for two rare shows.

Regularly delivering compositions both authoritative and virtuosic, the experimental ensemble of 20 has become a leading force in contemporary music. They focus on groundbreaking works from contemporary composers who take 'classical' music way beyond what's classic. On Tuesday, March 18, hear works from the likes of Liza Lim, Timothy McCormack, Aaron Cassidy and Richard Barrett, conducted by Carl Rosman. Then back it up the following night, with music by Dmitri Kourliandski, Ann Cleare and Luke Paulding.

With three world premiere works on the bill, Elision will prove exactly why they have established themselves as not only Australia's but some of the world's finest.
