Taikoz - Side by Side

03 Mar 2023 - Capitol Theatre

Presented by The Con

A CELEBRATION OF REMARKABLE CREATIVITY

Presented in association with Musica Viva Australia
 

Side By Side features the emerging compositional voices of Taikoz players Ian Cleworth, Kerryn Joyce, Sophia Ang, Ryuji Hamada and Claudia Wherry, and at its heart, the program is truly a celebration of the remarkable creativity that resides within the ensemble. Sitting side by side their pieces (pun intended!) is the winning composition of Taikoz's 2020 Women Composers Competition – Tasmania-based non-taiko playing Karlin Love’s Fierce: The Vengeance Of Joy.

"You don't just listen to this music.  You see it and feel it too.  Totally compelling." - Sydney Morning Herald

When you read what each composer says about her or his inspiration and thought processes, it’ll come as no surprise that much the music is a direct response to the worldwide pandemic of 2020-21. How could it not? With roots in the insecurities and anxieties of our shared experiences of Covid-19, their music consequently evokes images and feelings of the natural world and a wide gamut of emotions that range through darkness (Shadow Games), longing (Flowing Water) fear vs freedom (Run!), nostalgia and joy (Yasaka), and expectation, growth and new life (Cocoon).
