Music and Tea - A Percussion Odyssey

Join emerging concert artists Grace Lee and Michael de Huy and discover the beauty of the marimba in dialogue with the piano. With its broad range and warm, resonant wooden bars, the marimba allows a single performer to combine rich harmonies, bass lines, and lyrical melodies.

With a history dating back to 13th-century West Africa, the instrument has evolved over time, including 5-octave marimbas, which Grace will perform on. Grace will also give the world premiere of Michael de Huy's 'Dialogues for Marimba and Piano.'

The concert will open with Benjamin Bowen, a young bagpiper from the NSW South Coast. He will perform a short set of well-known folk songs and dances.

Tickets are free (donations appreciated) but bookings are essential, book your spot via Humanitix.

Music and Tea at the Gallery is produced by Inspire Music Australia.
