Featuring the AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE of Apotheosis (1996) by Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara
“Einojuhani Rautavaara writes music that is extremely beautiful without being banal or blatantly superficial”
Rautavaara is the leading Finnish composer of his generation. His work has gone through a complex stylistic development in the course of his career with his late style combining modernism with mystical romanticism.

The West Australian Symphony Orchestra has appointed Marshall McGuire as its new Artistic Manager, Artistic Planning from 2007. Marshall is well know to Perth audiences for his virtuosic harp performances. Perhaps less known in the West is his involvement in New Music development and advocacy in Sydney and the east coast. He has been president of the New Music Network in Sydney for the last 10 years, is the Artistic Director of The Sonic Art Ensemble (Sydney) and a regular member of the ELISION ensemble. Marshall has commissioned more than 20 new works for harp, and in recognition of this received the 1997 Sounds Australian Award for the Most Distinguished Contribution to the Presentation of Australian Music. He is the Musical Director of the Australian Youth Orchestra's 2006 National Music Camp.
Perth is indeed fortunate to have such an addition to it's shores. Tura and the WA New Music community congratulates Marshall on his recent appointment, welcomes him to WA and looks forward working with him to further the musical life of the state.

Part of the 2006 ReelDance Festival, BODY CUTS is a 1 hour program of 15 short dance films from WA choreographers & film-makers. Curated by Dr Jonathan Marshall of WAAPA, the program includes 2 films from prominent professional WA dance-maker Claudia Alessi, as well as work from independent film-makers Tanja Visosevic & Andrew Ewing (the latter’s Lapsang featuring the music of Found: Quantity of Sheep), recent WAAPA dance graduate Jessyka Watson-Galbraith (currently working in Vienna), together with a selection of the best student work in dance & film at the Faculty of Arts & Education, Edith Cowan University. The selection of films is designed to push the boundaries of dance film, ranging from music video to more formal choreographic work.
Prior to the screening itself will be a public forum—Cutting Film For the Body—dealing with issues related to dance film. Is the material within Body Cuts dance film? Is it good? If one accepts that images of anything moving rhythmically in time with music could be dance film, what is not? And what of the body? All this & more will be discussed at Cutting Film For the Body.
