Easter at the Piano Mill 2024

Sunday 31 March 2024
2:30pm - 5:30pm AEST

An Imaginary Aviary, tower of pianos and world famous experimental musicians in the forest

Vanessa Tomlinson's Imaginary Aviary is a soundscape from the future – 8 new bird species that will appear in 10 years, 50 years, 500 years’ time. What do they sound like? What could future birdsong be? Featuring Peter Knight (trumpet), Flora Wong (violin), Jodie Rotte (flute & objects), Tara Pattendon (electronics), Chris Stover (trombone), Tim Munro (flute). The Imaginary Aviary was commissioned by Bleach Festival (Gold Coast), and begins a new partnership between Bleach and Harrigans Lane Collective.

The Piano Mill's special guest Jon Rose has redefined violin performance, through his innovative performance, his musical inventions, his "Rosenberg violin museum," and many international collaborations with artists and groups such as the Kronos String Quartet. For Easter 2024 he joined with Piano Mill artist in residence Erik Griswold to present new works and improvisations.
