2024 SAVE THE DATES!!!


We are currently in the planning stages for our 2024 Chamber Music season of four concerts! At the moment, the line-up is settled but is a bit dependent on funding to realise fully. If you would like to help, you can make a tax-deductible donation via the Australian Cultural Fund.


However, the DATES are definitely settled (famous last words...) and our concerts will be starting earlier at 3pm and will remain at Wesley Uniting Church in Forrest. The actual concerts aren't dependent on funding, there will definitely be music from the core Apeiron group!


So, please save these dates:

Sunday, April 21st 2024

Sunday, June 9th 2024

Sunday, August 18th, 2024

What is Apeiron?

 

We owe the concept of apeiron(ἀπείρων) to the ancient Greeks. Living so close to the elements, they experienced constant turmoil. Nothing was taken for granted – as states rose and fell, and war was constant, while plagues and natural disasters were frequent visitors.


Yet, like us, they experienced beauty and joy. It told them that no matter how fleeting a moment was, it must contain within it a spark of truth. Something that lasts beyond the flux of the everyday and transcends it. As their philosophers paced the agora, they argued over which elements composed this truth – was it fire? Water? Ideas? Man himself?
