Peak Plastique
New Music
Classical, Experimental, Jazz, New Music
In Peak Plastique, ordinary plastic objects are transformed into extraordinary soundscapes as we take you on a sonic journey into the world of plastic. Featuring 11 exquisite musical compositions accompanied by evocative animations, Peak Plastique explores the intricate patterns and structures of plastic molecules, and examines the ubiquitous presence of plastic in our environment.
Peak Plastique is produced and performed by Queensland-based Australian innovators Clocked Out, known for presenting fantastical, collaborative, experimental, place-led musical events. Drawing on decades of sonic curiosity across the fields of classical, jazz and experimental music traditions, pianist Erik Griswold, percussionist Vanessa Tomlinson team up with Melbourne-based violinist Anna McMichael and video artist Nick Roux to ponder one of the most significant problems of our time – our complex relationship with plastics.
Each work is accompanied by evocative animations created by Nick Roux, including breathing plastic bags, falling raindrops of plastic bottles, swaying colourful straws, and dancing Glad Wrap-encased rocks. The music expresses both a nostalgic longing for a time when seas were cleaner, while others present a stark, reflective look at the friction between futuristic hopes for sustainability and the tough realities of our plastic-filled world.

Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria
by Elena Kats-Chernin
Dramma per musica
(1640/2012)after Claudio Monteverdi
Libretto by Giacomo Badoaro
Based on stories from Homer’s Odyssey, Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria tells the story of Penelope’s 20-year wait for the return of her husband, Ulysses after the Trojan wars.
This modern adaptation of the 1640 Monteverdi opera by Uzbekistan-born Australian composer, Elena Kats-Chernin, was premiered at the Komische Oper Berlin in 2012, and explores the tenacity of a wife’s refusal to accept that her husband may not return as the rest of the world has moved on.
Conducted by the Conservatorium’s Professor of Opera and Orchestral Studies, Johannes Fritzsch; directed by award-winning director and filmmaker Constantine Costi; and designed by Isabel Hudson, whose previous work included 2024’s Puccini Double Bill, this is sure to be an unmissable event.

Without Words: Tim Munro & Stephen Emmerson
A journey through a century of German-language song, without words. Flautist Tim Munro and pianist Stephen Emmerson explore the liminal space between song and instrumental music. Franz Schubert’s dark Variations on Trockne Blumen and Clara Schumann’s radiant Romances are linked to lieder composers including Schubert, Schumann, Wagner, Alma Mahler and Webern.
Emmerson and Munro have been friends for many years, but this will be the first full-length project they have devised and presented together. Without Words is part of the 4MBS Festival of Classics.

Mozart’s Piano
Special Event
The pinnacle of refinement: dine in three delights of the classical era. Mozart adored composing piano concertos, and his Piano Concerto No. 27 is his final work of this form. Having written 26 others before it, the maturity and artistry of this concerto is, unsurprisingly, astounding. Australian pianist Daniel de Borah has a history of acclaimed Mozart interpretations, many alongside Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici, and the duo offer grace and sensitivity in their approach to this miraculous work.
Haydn’s Symphony No. 49 (La passione) is a rare touch of darkness in the composer’s catalogue, as the sombre and stormy reign supreme. But don’t worry, it’s not all serious, Rossini’s La Cenerentola Overture is bright, bold and energetic.

A Chorus Line
A Chorus Line examines one day in the lives of seventeen dancers, all vying for a spot in the “chorus line” of a Broadway musical. After the first round of cuts, Zach, the director, asks each dancer to speak about themselves. Discomfort opens into revelation, confession leads to redemption, and within the bright, outwardly homogenous chorus, the audience begins to see each dancer’s individuality. From Cassie, the star who just needs the “music and the mirror and the chance to dance,” to Val, a small-town girl with a brand-new big-town body, to Mike, who took his sister’s place in dance class, saying “I can do that.”
Based on real Broadway dancers’ stories, A Chorus Line is a funny, heartbreaking, and refreshingly honest musical capturing the spirit and tension of a Broadway chorus audition.
This special 50th anniversary production, performed in conjunction with Griffith University’s 50th anniversary celebrations, will be performed by all current Bachelor of Musical Theatre students, and feature 3rd years in principal roles.

With a rousing score that blends elements of pop, gospel and jazz, tight harmonies, daring vocals and creative choreography, Songs for a New World appeals to old and new generations alike.
Content warnings: mature content, adult themes, coarse language, references to suicide.

The Snowman in Concert
Special Event
We were first introduced to Raymond Briggs’ magical, awe-inspiring world of The Snowman in 1978, and his picture book was developed into an Oscar-nominated film just four years later. Directed by Dianne Jackson and featuring an original score by Howard Blake, the animated film brings Briggs’ visionary tale to life, following James and his Snowman as they embark on a wondrous journey one winter’s night.
Over the past 40 years, The Snowman has firmly become part of the fabric of Christmas and winter celebrations. The dreamlike narrative still perfectly captures the imagination and wonder of childhood, continuing to be enjoyed and embraced across generations.
