CHRIS PIDCOCK and BEN CAREY play Ferneyhough

SUNDAY December 7th at 7.30 p.m. [doors at 7]

Brian Ferneyhough - Time and Motion Study II (for cello and electronics) (1973-76)

Chris Pidcock became a member of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in 2012 and has become one of the most distinguished and innovative performers in Australia.  He enjoys performing on both historical and contemporary instruments equally, exploring composer and performer relationships, and fosters the idea that improvisation is part of being a classical musician. Chris’s pursuit of discovery, by his audience and by musicians in the Sydney community, led to the creation of Opus Now, founded in 2016 by Chris with friends Freya Schack-Arnott and Ben Panucci, a concert series that draws together historical performance, world indigenous music, and contemporary music into a single concert. Artists and parallels in the programming are painstakingly researched to create memorable concert experiences.

Benjamin Carey is a prominent figure in the Sydney music scene, known for his innovative approach to electronic music and his role as a lecturer and educator. He has released multiple albums and collaborated with various ensembles and artists. Carey's work is characterized by its focus on musical interactivity and generativity, and he has been recognized for his contributions to the field through various awards and fellowships. His research and creative work extend beyond traditional music education, as he also engages in the design and development of interactive systems for improvised musical performance.
