BRASS ON SAFARI

presented by Ispwich City Orchestra

Join the Ipswich City Brass Quintet for a unique cultural experience on the theme of animals. “Brass on Safari” combines classical music and visual art in this premier collaborative arts event.

During the concert, witness the creation of a work of visual art while you travel the world enjoying music from French composer, Camille Saint-Saëns "Carnival of the Animals", Russian composer, Modest Mussorgsky "Pictures at an Exhibition" and Australian composer Graeme Wright Denniss “The Three Horned Cat”, along with popular favourites like "Baby Elephant Walk".

Each of the six events engages a different visual artist to produce an artwork during the performance with the audience able to closely observe the process as it is projected onto the big screen. The artist brief is to produce a work in response to the music program either in it’s entirety or a specific piece.
