2024 Chamber Series
Apeiron goes Classical!
Apeiron is going hi-tech and leaping back into the future… setting our DeLorean time machine to the late 18th century! In this classical-era concert, we will be showcasing the sounds of our Walter-style fortepiano; a predecessor to the modern piano and the model of piano that was favoured by Mozart!
We will also have Ben Hoadley joining us on Classical Bassoon to explore music by composers such as Edelmann, de Nebra, Haydn, Bengraf, Michl, Fiala, and more!
WHERE: Wesley Uniting Church, Forrest, ACT
WHEN: 18th August 2024, 4pm.

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?
