This is a professional (open to public) concert, so we will be

looking for polished, professional performances that are nearly
concert-ready by the time of the November 9 audition. We prefer
complete pieces that are not too long for obvious reasons, but will
consider single movements if we do not have enough people ready to
play complete pieces. Preference given to chamber ensembles, but
will consider solo pieces.

Among Aboriginal musicians from remote Central Australian desert communities, performances in white-dominated towns are commonly portrayed as desirable occasions for engaging with a white-dominated socio-musical realm. This seminar explores how such racially informed cross-cultural notions are put to work in the accumulation of Aboriginal male and musician status. I then describe how Aboriginal town gigs are in fact organised, carried out and evaluated by various Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal stakeholders.

Start: 8:00 pm

Music will be late Renaissance/early Baroque - Monteverdi, Cozzolani, Gesualdo, Victoria, Palestrina, and Rigatti.
