The 7th Totally Huge New Music Festival begins in exactly one week and a whole lot of wonderful things are about to start happening.
Here are just a few things to look out for...
Perth composer and Ruined Piano pioneer Ross Bolleter, will transform the central space at PICA with Ruined Pianos from around WA. Each piano not only has its unique range of sounds and sculptural idiosyncrasies but brings with it its own physical and social history.

OPENING NIGHT! Friday 30th sept , 6.30-7.30pm
Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts
51 James St, Perth Cultural Centre

American composer George Crumb’s reputation as a composer of hauntingly beautiful scores has made him one of the most frequently performed composers in today’s musical world. Perth group Concord will perform one of Crumb’s best known works Vox Balaenae (Voice of the Whale) accompanied by the ethereal Dreamscape (Images II), also by Crumb and Dream by Peter Sculthorpe.
