Described as “a triumphant premiere from our greatest living composer…” (The Telegraph UK), Thomas Adès’ Alchymia is a spellbinding and expansive masterwork transporting the listener into a deep, dark timelessness. This Australian premiere leads an explosion of juxtapositions in a program of genre-defying contemporary music.

★★★★½ “…an intense and vibrant performance!” — Limelight

Moving from beautiful simplicity to pandemonium beyond recognition, this performance also features Missy Mazzoli’s Grammy Award-nominated Double Bass concerto Dark with Excessive Bright, Christopher Cerrone’s Nervous Systems in an updated and expanded new version, and a world premiere from Samuel Adams, a striking work of ever increasing intensity.
