Flute family, violin and piano take the main line; bass clarinet joins for Solstice I. The five pieces test what a piano trio can say, and answer photographs by Jane Brown and Narelle Autio with music about human potential set against itself and the world.

More to explore
Liquid Crystal
Clarinetist Luke Carbon and pianist Alex Raineri offer a varied duo programme spanning Brahms, Berg, Beach, Bernstein and Elliott Gyger, framed as a personal mixtape of cherished clarinet and piano works.
Sonorous Sonatas
Peter Sheridan set out to bring the larger, lower flutes to centre stage, testing their sound and colour within one of Western music’s most traditional forms: the sonata. Commissioned works and substantial duo writing put alto, bass, contrabass and subcontrabass flutes in the foreground.
