PACIFICA ELISION is the present and future of contemporary music. Hard-edged, uncompromising, idealistic, this extraordinary virtuoso group, recently returned from a triumphant tour of Europe, is at the forefront of innovation in Australian music. Nowhere is the vitality and idealism of this ensemble better shown than in this performance where Norwegian conductor Christian Eggen, Korean performers Min Young-Chi and Chang Jae Hyo play works by Brian Ferneyhough, Liza Lim, Akira Nishimura, Manbang Yi and David Young to make a timely statement about the future of artistic collaboration, and their faith in the power of music to transcend cultural barriers. |
