Tetrafide - Tenth Birthday Gala Concert

7pm, Sunday 10th September at the WAAPA Music Auditorium.

On September 12, 1996, a group of 4 young percussionists stepped out onto the Fremantle Town Hall stage to play Nigel Westlake's Omphalo Centric Lecture. Ten years later, and Tetrafide Percussion has become a West Australian cultural icon.

This concert is a chance to reflect on ten years of Tetrafide goodness. The big gigs, the tours, the people! Virtually everybody who has been a member of Tetrafide in that time will be on-stage at some point in the evening, and a limited edition special collectors' edition program will be available only to those who attend.

Tickets: Full $25. 00, Concession & Friends $19. 50, ECU Students $9. 00

Ruined Piano Sanctuary Launch

Tura New Music in association with Wambyn Olive Farm presents The Ruined Piano Sanctuary Launch - a special day of guided tours and performances

Wambyn Olive Farm, York, WA
Sat 18th November 2006
Starts 3pm

Following the success of the Inaugural Ruined Piano Convergence as part of the 2005 Totally Huge New Music Festival, the many collected pianos have made the journey east, to near York, WA. Pianos from the convergence have been joined by a steady stream of new additions and under the supervision of composer Ross Bolleter the pianos have been placed in a variety of intriguing environments around the farm.

It is envisaged that this Ruined Piano Sanctuary will be a permanent home for ruined pianos from around the state. Of course the beauty of this is that here they can continue the process of decomposition as the elements continue to create new and wonderful nuances in their sound, appearance and mechanisms.

Tickets for the Launch Day and Performances by Ross Bolleter are strictly limited and must be purchased prior to the day

Entrance: $25 (includes BBQ Dinner)
