The Pulse Chamber Orchestra is an ensemble of selected UQ School of Music string students directed by Patrick Murphy. Pulse’s eclectic repertoire ranges from masterworks of the string orchestra and string quartet genre to transcriptions of Bartok’s Mikrokosmos and works of contemporary and past Australian composers.
Music Meets Arts: Entangled Worlds
6–7pm
Location: UQ Art Museum
Step into an extraordinary dialogue between sound and visual art in a concert presented in partnership with the UQ Art Museum. Experience bold new compositions by UQ's emerging composers, performed by talented UQ musicians in direct response to the thought-provoking exhibition These Entanglements: Ecology After Nature.
Exhibition curator Anna Briers notes, "working from the premise that human exceptionalism has led to environmental catastrophe, the exhibition proposes a more ethical, symbiotic and reciprocal approach to cross-species relations and ways of being in the world." Each musical piece in this performance creates a unique sonic response to this premise, offering fresh perspectives on humanity's complex relationship with the natural world.
