Soft Soft Loud: Australian Brass Quintet

4 March 2010

Following a stunning WA debut in Soft Soft Loud 2009, the Australian Brass Quintet return to present a range of works that showcase their collective artistry and diverse musical interests. ABQ smash any mis-informed notion of brass ensembles as classical or quaint. Be it the commissioning and adaptation of new work or performing existing works from the repertory, ABQ are at home in any musical language and continue to affirm their position as a brass ensemble without peer within Australasia.

The program includes Morning Music (1986) by David Sampson (USA), a meditation on the life and death of his brother murdered by the Ku Klux Klan and Monteverdi’s joyful baroque Four Madrigals.

ABQ will perform new Australian works including Fanfare Ex, composed by Charles Macinnes for ABQ in 2009, and Tilman Robinsons’ Cuidado con los Dientes del Sabio.
