Event Details

Hidden Curiosities is a new Kammerklang series championing existing, under-performed, Australian repertoire drawn from an open call for scores. Two performers pour over this collection of treasures to build their own personal dream program showcasing not just the talent of Australian composers, but their own taste, talents and stories. In 2024, we are putting the spotlight on the double bass, collecting music from all over Australia for two excellent concerts. From the Deep is curated and performed by Melbourne double bassist Miranda Hill. Featuring aquatic adventures, the rich legacy and impact of her teachers, and the depth of the double bass (pun intended), this one-hour solo instrumental cabaret promises intimate connection, hilarious anecdotes, and incredible local music. Miranda Hill performs From the Deep at the Motley Bauhaus in Melbourne featuring music by Kate Moore, Larry Sitsky, Christine Pan, Moses Kington-Walberg, Zoe Gougousidis and a world premiere commissioned for Miranda by Kammerklang’s artistic director, Cameron Lam. Its partner program, Ripples and Echoes will be performed in Sydney by Will Hansen. 
*The event From the Deep which was due to take place on Dec 4 has had to be delayed due to injury. The new concert date is May 28, 2025 - same time and venue.
