MEDIA RELEASE FROM THE MELBOURNE RECITAL CENTRE
“An epic modern classical composition that pushes the boundaries of experimentation”.
Presented by The Melbourne Recital Centre & Benjamin Skepper + contrapuntal
Multi-instrumentalist Benjamin Skepper operates at the confluence of art, science, technology, fashion, contemporary classical and the avant-garde. A respected multidisciplinary artist, his work explores perception, pushing boundaries to collapse artistic borders.
About the concert
His performance in Primrose Potter Salon presents the Australian premiere of Praeludium y Fuga. Originally performed at the Moscow State Conservatory in 2019 to a sold-out audience, Skepper will reimagine and recontextualise the electro-acoustic audio-visual work for a local audience.
An epic modern classical composition that pushes the boundaries of experimentation, this unique, multi-sensory performance is not to be missed.
