APPARITIONS: Beckoning the Shadow Realm

$39 / $32

Superstar classical accordionist James Crabb launches us into the glorious pandemonium of John Zorn’s Road Runner, an exhilarating maze of ever-changing style and instantly-recognisable musical quotation that propulsively ignites the spectre of our much-loved uncatchable Looney Tunes character. Sparks keep flying as electrifying soprano Judith Dodsworth and pianistic dynamo Peter de Jager combine superpowers to summon George Crumb’s Apparition, his spellbinding setting of Walt Whitman’s 1865 poem When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom’d, brimming with tenderness and mysticism. Crabb then returns to the stage with cello wizard Timo-Veikko Valve, a potent partnership to unleash the sizzling soul of Astor Piazzolla’s flashy masterpiece, Le Grand Tango.
