About
The NRSO is thrilled to present internationally acclaimed artist/composer Matt Ottley’s The Sound of Picture Books™ series in a concert, featuring the award-winning picture book "How to Make a Bird" by author Meg McKinlay, with pictures and music by Matt Ottley.The Sound of Picture Books™ is a unique journey of auditory visualisation where you get to “see the music” and “hear the pictures”. A performance of the soundtrack is followed by audience interaction with Matt, exploring the making of music, and a live demonstration of on-the-spot composition and drawing.
The first half of the concert will feature the NRSO Ensemble conducted by Marco Bellasi, with narration by Tina Wilson OAM, and projection of Matt Ottley’s illustrations.
The second half of the concert will showcase Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E flat major, Op. 44, a sublime masterpiece performed by NRSO musicians - pianist Ayesha Gough, violinists Hugh Won and Alison Fletcher, violist Nick Stefan, and cellist Zoe Heflin.
