Divisi, in collaboration with Melbourne Recital Centre for Midsumma 2024, present a vibrant program of classical vocal music by three major, award-winning Australian queer composers – Meta Cohen, Sally Whitwell and Connor D’Netto.
Two of these names, Meta and Sally should be pretty familiar to long-time listeners and Connor D’Netto is new to us but not new to the country being labelled by ABC classic as “the model contemporary Australian composer.” Having an opportunity to perform ‘a love is a love is a love’ and Spectrum again is terribly exciting. Re-performing and giving life to this music which tells enchanting stories never before told by classical music. Connor’s new work, a world premiere and commission by Divisi and Coady Green, will bring to live the stories of Bastian Fox Phelan as told in Maeve Marsden’s Queer Stories podcast. Check it out here, or come to the concert.
