Obscura 3 | Transfiguration
Featuring works by Kaija Saariaho, Jean Sibelius, Nick Drake and Richard Tognetti.
Curated and performed by Satu Vänskä, featuring Jim Moginie (Midnight Oil) and Brian Ritchie (Violent Femmes).
Strings, but not as you might expect them. Satu Vänskä is the founder, curator, front-woman, violinist and vocalist of the critically acclaimed ACO Underground, the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s electro-infused, experimental spinoff project.
With ACO Underground, Satu has performed collaborations with artists including Midnight Oil’s Jim Moginie and the Violent Femmes’ Brian Ritchie in venues ranging from New York’s Le Poisson Rouge to Sydney’s Phoenix Central Park.
In Hobart, Satu will join with Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra musicians, as well as Jim and Brian, for a genre-bending program that encompasses the melancholy, museful, reflective and the powerful. A twilight atmosphere that blurs the meaning of the beginning and the end.
