Travel and Change

2024 Chamber Series

Baroque Music meets Philosophy

Continuing on from the successful melding of Australian Poetry and Baroque Music last year, Apeiron continues to pair unlikely and interesting combinations of topics with our Early Music performances. Clear and obvious connections are easy, but it is the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated ideas that produce the true leaps in understanding!

Explore and absorb Philosophical ideas of Travel and Change, presented by Drew Ninnis, whilst listening to Early Music presented by Apeiron Baroque, John Ma and Marie Searles.

WHERE: Wesley Uniting Church, Forrest, ACT

WHEN: 9th June 2024, 4pm.

Feedback

Audience Feedback

"I have hardly ever enjoyed a concert as much as yesterday's 'Travel and Change'. The concept worked brilliantly, and the playing was absolutely exquisite."

"...it was a lot of fun, particularly getting to see you two play up close. I thought the piece selection was perfect too. So much interesting music that doesn't get heard that often, it's a real draw."

"Thanks for (another) wonderful and unique performance."

"Your performance was amazing - a beautiful balance of professionalism, sensitivity, and entertainment. Thank you for the music, and I hope to see you perform again!"

"The last piece was just transcendent! This was so much fun – I didn’t expect to laugh out loud. Thank you for that."

"Congratulations on your marvelous concert on Sunday. We thoroughly enjoyed it; your playing was deeply moving and has really stayed with me."

Unusual Concert has the Audience Thinking

"You can always rely on Apeiron Baroque to pair unlikely and interesting combinations of topics and music."

"Drew Ninnis, who presented philosophical ideas around travel and change with delightfully dry humour."

"The music in this unusual and entertaining concert was beautifully played by Ma and Searles... Ninnis was a charming, funny, and knowledgeable presenter."

"...an ancient air of mystery, finishing with a rousing final movement. Ninnis then took us travelling to philosophers’ magic mountains..."
