Adam Gorb, Distinguished visiting composer from the UK, conducts performances of his works Bells Across the Atlantic (2013) and Tranquility (2009). In Mower’s innovative concerto, the flute shines over a large group of wind instruments, with references to Big Band writing, Latin harmonies and more. Australian techno-whizz Paul Mac combined with Hindson in a response to new “draconian” lock-out laws in Sydney.
