MUSIC RESIDENCY: TEMPO RUBATO
8–8.20PM
8.40–9PM
9.20–9.40PM
Tempo Rubato has curated four nights of music as part of NGV’s Pharaoh Friday Nights season. Come and hear some of our country’s most highly skilled artists create a spectrum of soundworlds with wood, metal, friction and air, on instruments that have been evolving for hundreds of years. Plus maybe the odd synthesiser.
ABOUT TEMPO RUBATO
Tempo Rubato is a music venue tucked away in a repurposed warehouse on Breese Street, Brunswick. The venue’s stripped back aesthetic and considered approach to curation draws a diverse and broadminded audience of locals, artists and music fans from across Melbourne each week. With a focus on classical music, Tempo Rubato also stretches to ambient, electronic, improvisation and singer-songwriters.
23 AUGUST: KATIE YAP & DONALD NICOLSON
Violist Katie Yap and keyboardist Donald Nicolson weave old and new together in a spectacular, raucous combination. Katie and Donald are two of Australia’s foremost period musicians and they catapult their ancient instruments into modern sound worlds. Exploring co-composition, they draw on diverse influences; from medieval and baroque greats Hildegard von Bingen and J.S. Bach, to 70s electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre.
EXHIBITION
A ticket to NGV Friday Nights is your only opportunity to come face-to-face with ancient Egypt’s divine icons and invincible warriors at night. Melbourne Winter Masterpieces®: Pharaoh, traverses three thousand years of art and culture and 500 objects, including monumental sculpture, architecture, temples, jewellery, coffins and more. This exhibition celebrates the phenomenon of pharaoh, those all-powerful kings claiming a divine origin.
