Hilary Kleinig - alone:together album lauch with Nat Bartsch
alone : together, the debut solo album by award-winning cellist / composer Hilary Kleinig, explores the sonic possibilities of the cello - bowed, plucked, harmonic and percussive - played alone but together with looping layers and echoes of self. Fusing influences of folk, classical, EDM and pop, alone : together offers listeners music of sublime beauty, symphonic textures, ecstatic grooves and lush harmonies, all created by one multi-layered cello.
Joined by a very special local guest in each city for her national album launch tour, Hilary is thrilled to share the stage with exquisite pianist and composer Nat Bartsch.
A special performance by two extraordinary artists, performing alone and together.
ABOUT HILARY KLEINIG
Hilary Kleinig is a multidisciplinary musician - cellist, composer, creative producer and educator – based in Tarntanya / Adelaide, Australia. Imbued with a sense of wonder and curiosity, her artistic practice centres on care, collaboration and connection, of and with people, place and planet. A strong believer in the transformative power of music, she is passionate about creating new work with artists and communities that tell vital, current and courageous stories important to us today.

ABOUT NAT BARTSCH
