About
COMMON GROUND considers the music that starts with vibrant cultures and their musical self-expression. The enduring legacy of folk music with its ancient rhythms and evocative melodies finds common ground in the present-day in works by Sandor Veress, Peter Sculthorpe and Gerard Brophy. Here, the music honours its origins while connecting with the rich tapestry of past traditions, shared in a sense of universal experience and belonging. A particular treat will be the haunting strains of a Balinese gamelan orchestra.
