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.
6 SEPTEMBER: SOPHIA KIRSANOVA & MELBOURNE STRINGS
Established in 2022 by Melbourne-based Latvian violinist Sophia Kirsanova, Melbourne Strings comprises top classical string players from Melbourne, including leading professional players and emerging artists. Their performances are always a breath of fresh air; a wild ride from ethereal heights to crunchy grittiness; punctuated by precision, rigour and expressiveness.
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.
