Lone Hemispheres features chamber musicians as soloists in works inspired by masterpieces of the European avant-garde. Performing alone yet moving within each other’s orbit, Lamorna Nightingale (flute), Jason Noble (clarinet) and Claire Edwardes (percussion) explore harmonious solitude in world premieres by Damien Ricketson, 2017 Noisy Women Commission recipient Elizabeth Younan and local composer, Tristan Coelho. These new Australian works comment on and are framed in concert, by classics of the genre by Franco Donatoni and Luciano Berio.

“The organic naturalism of the cellular growth of Donatoni’s Soft (1989) for bass clarinet—warm, velvety, brief utterances, each progressively more expressive, with small swellings,flourishes, deep recurrent punctuations, numerous rippling ascents and a final vertiginousride down—is deeply engaging in Jason Noble’s riveting performance.”
