Due to continued COVID-19 restrictions in New South Wales, A Little Lunch Music: Ensemble Apex has been cancelled and will not proceed.

This program pitches two masterful works by two contemporary European composers. Dobrinka Tabakova’s Suite in Old Style was written as an ode to Rameau. With imaginative use of baroque and folk elements, it traverses through the idleness, joy, and solemnity of life in the 18th century.

The Riot of Spring is a relatively new work by Dmitri Kourliandski written as a response to rave culture, dubstep and drum and bass music. Without giving too much away, the work sees the breakdown of the fourth wall between performers and audience. 

These works will be presented alongside the Australian premiere of Kate Moore's The Art of Levitation.
