Elevator Music
 

Omega Ensemble presents Elevator Music, a captivating showcase of the clarinet featuring legendary British clarinettist Michael Collins in his first Australian appearance in six years.

Performing at Melbourne Recital Centre on Saturday 16 August, Elevator Music will feature the world premiere of Graeme Koehne’s Double Clarinet Concerto. Koehne’s latest work is a tongue-in-cheek thriller filled with joyful contrasts, soul-searching melodies, and heart-racing rhythms.

Also featured in the program are Grammy-nominated composer Anna Clyne’s Stride and Aaron Copland’s Clarinet Concerto.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
