UKARIA 24
Curated by ANTHONY MARWOOD
Friday 10–Sunday 12 November
'Welcome to the 2023 edition of UKARIA 24. This gem of a concert hall stole my affections a few years ago and, since my first visit to Australia in early 2020 was cut short for reasons unnecessary to explain, it feels like a blast of positivity to bring together some of my favourite co-performers and make something new here.
Devising this programme, with such an exquisite environment in my mind's eye, has been a particular joy, as is the chance to perform a very wide range of music in unexpected juxtapositions – a conversation between old and new, the familiar and the unencountered. We have recent works by Thomas Adès, Jörg Widmann and Ana Sokolović, alongside music of Bach, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schoenberg and Ravel, with a healthy dose of Kurt Weill, Alban Berg, Scottish fiddle, and even Noël Coward.
I'm joined by performers from Australia, the UK, Serbia and the United States – we are all eagerly looking forward to being together for this special November weekend in the magical intimacy of UKARIA.'
