Faculty & friends: Drongo Americanus

In the second instalment of the School of Music's 'Faculty & Friends' series, the ANU New Music Ensemble perfoms the music of composer and ANU School of Music lecturer Dr Alexander Hunter. The evening’s repertoire consists mainly of works from his PhD studies, utilising open form in quiet, delicate textures requiring great attention to timbral detail and a significant level of personal creativity from and communication between musicians. All of these works (including a duo for double bass and vibraphone written when the composer was a second year undergraduate student) will be receiving their Australian premieres.
