Omega Ensemble – Distant World

The future of our planet in a world gone mad.

Latvian composer Peteris Vasks’ Piano Quartet from 2001 grapples with his familiar themes of a world detached from nature. Contrasting darkness and light, it reflects the natural world, and weaves in cherished bird songs. His music portrays a profound catharsis, historical weight, and a glimmer of hope for the future.

A vibrant Australian voice, Miriama Young’s interactive performance incorporates a soundscape of recordings by young people of personal places in nature, merging past and present, physical and metaphysical into a powerful artistic statement.

Written in response to devastating bushfires, Tasmanian composer and saxophonist Jabra Latham’ Fire Music reflects anguish and renewal, aiming to ‘embody the cyclical nature of life and fire.’
