Once again we are transforming George Place, an ISPT property, into a vibrant hub of artistic expression, creativity, and community engagement.
Join us at George Place for ‘In the Key of G’, an immersive piano concert celebrating the creativity of Sydney’s CBD. Four celebrated composers have crafted unique pieces that will come to life on two pianos in the George Place foyer. We’re inviting piano players from George Place and the wider Sydney community to engage!
Participants will engage by learning the music with a weekly 1:1 session with a composer, and create then final performance on Wednesday, 25 September where they will meld their music into a 40-minute piano piece.
Public rehearsals throughout September will transform the foyer into a music hub, culminating in a spectacular and diverse musical concert for everyone to enjoy!
COMPOSERS
Veronique Serret
Ellen Kirkwood
Novak Manoljovic
Judy Bailey (with assistance from Kevin Hunt)
Concert Details:
The grand concert will take place on Wednesday, the 25th of September, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM in George Place.
A rehearsal and sound check will be held on the day of the concert, starting at 4:00 PM.
This is open to friends, family and Fringe lovers alike!
Tickets are FREE but are strictly limited so please reserve your ticket to guarantee entry.
Registration and Performance:
All music enthusiasts and pianists are encouraged to register.
Each participant will perform a 2 minute and 30 second segment of the unique piano piece, building into a 10-minute composition with fellow enthusiasts.
The composition will be with a diverse array of composers and improvisers and other unrealised artists (that’s you!)
Rehearsals:
Rehearsals begin on the 2nd of September.
They will take place once a week for 1 hour with a teacher, at the time you are both available at George Place across a weekday.
Participants are also encouraged to enjoy additional time for personal practice to engage with the composer’s themes and story. The pianos will be living at George Place for the month of September so you have access to them anytime during the week days.
Expectations:
Commitment to attending weekly tuition and guidance with a professional that you will be connected with via the Fringe Team.
Dedication to practicing your segment outside of scheduled rehearsal sessions.
Participation in the final concert performance, including the rehearsal and sound check on the day of the event.
If you would like to be part of the performance, please complete this expression of interest (EOI) form by 28 August.
