Crashing through Fences
Adelaide musicians Melanie Walters and Jack de la Lande join forces for an eclectic recital of music by contemporary composers for flute and percussion. The program will include music by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang, as well as works by ARIA-nominated Yuin art music composer Brenda Gifford, and US composer Timo Andres, whose music has been praised for its “playful intelligence and individuality" (The Guardian)
Presented by: Melanie Walters
