Boom! International Festival of Percussion presents
Rhythms of Change: New Percussion Solos by Australian Female Composers
Dialogue & Demo
Claire Edwardes' latest project, Rhythms of Change, directly addresses the parity of representation of women in classical music, and specifically in the world of solo percussion music.
Featuring music by Alice Chance, Maria Grenfell, Ella Macens, Peggy Polias, Bree van Reyk, Anna Cawrse, and Australia’s most beloved living composer, Elena Kats-Chernin, Rhythms of Change is a unique concert that should not be missed.
If you have access needs, please call the Box Office on 02 9061 5344 to book tickets.
From the set of Play School to the mainstage at the Sydney Opera House, Claire Edwardes is ‘the sorceress of percussion’ (City News, Canberra).
The only Australian to win the 'APRA Art Music Award for Excellence by an Individual' three times, Claire leaps between her role as Artistic Director of Ensemble Offspring and concerto performances with all of the Australian and New Zealand orchestras, plus numerous European orchestras.
Add her genre-spanning solo concerts, teaching at the Sydney Conservatorium, a broad spectrum of collaborations, premiering hundreds of new works by composers including Harrison Birtwistle and Elena Kats-Chernin, to passionately advocating for gender equity in music, and you begin to appreciate her astonishing energy.
Perhaps her most significant contribution, beyond her endless quest for excellence in performance, is in breaking down the barriers between art music and audiences, through her enthusiasm for bringing new music to unexpected places - including bowling clubs and old power stations.
