‘The possibilities are extraordinary.<br />
[William Barton] is a great man. He radiates.’<br />
Sir Simon Rattle<br />
‘[Ensemble Q was] quite possibly the best<br />
performance I’ve seen all year, and an<br />
astonishing feat of music-making . . . Frankly,<br />
this was a jaw-dropping performance.’<br />
Limelight<br />
Ensemble Q<br />
& William Barton<br />
What are the sonic possibilities when the oldest wind<br />
instrument in the world – the didgeridoo – teams up with<br />
instruments that found their final form only two centuries ago?<br />
And who better to explore them than distinguished artist and<br />
composer William Barton?<br />
Ensemble Q is a group powered by the passion and fizz of<br />
curiosity and underpinned by the virtuosic integrity of some<br />
of <strong>Australia</strong>’s finest musicians. It might just be the perfect<br />
playground for making music. Their ear-catching program<br />
includes works by William Barton and Paul Dean alongside<br />
hand-picked masterpieces by Brahms and Ligeti which<br />
promise to wrap audiences in a multi-faceted kaleidoscope<br />
of sound.<br />
With special thanks to Ensemble Patrons Ian and Caroline Frazer for their<br />
support of this tour.<br />
