More information about the festival HERE

John Huie
Artistic Director

"John Huie is an Australian musician and arranger that has spent some considerable time in Hong Kong and China researching various world music styles, including film soundtracks for Golden Harvest and also a commemorative piece for the 1997 handover. Now based in Shanghai, he has put together a crack band of local musicians to recreate many of the 1930’s jazz songs that were the soundtrack to the city in its pre-war heyday. “Shanghai Jazz – Musical Seductions From China’s Age of Decadence” is the sublime result."

"After moving to Shanghai in 2002, he spent three years researching and reproducing the authentic songs and musical style of Shanghai in the 1930s. The albums Shanghai Jazz 1 and Shanghai Jazz 2, were released by EMI. Huie then continued to write for small ensembles using a combination of traditional European and Chinese instruments, which resulted in the release of New Shanghai, also with EMI.During this time he wrote a number of film scores including The White Countess by legendary New York based film duo Merchant Ivory." SOUNDPET

Read the review for last years festival by Peter McGill below

Venue: Chinese Gardens, Darling Harbour, Sydney

Dates: 5, 6, 7, & 8th February, 2009

Producers: Chinese Chamber Music Company | Musica Viva | Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority

February in Sydney is the perfect time to be sitting in the magical setting of the Chinese Gardens, Darling Harbour, and listening to chamber music. This was the inaugural festival which means that we will be treated to this event, hopefully, for many years to come. The music began just before dusk and on a gorgeous summer evening the Chinese Gardens couldn’t have looked more beautiful.

The proceedings began with a ‘Greeting to Country’ and the Festival was opened by the Governor of NSW Professor Marie Bashir AC. The Artistic Director of the Festival was John Z. Huie who is a graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium High School and has studied under Carl Vine. He lived for 15 years in Hong Kong, from 1991, studying the art of Chinese Chamber music. He was commissioned by the Hong Kong government to compose a piece, which he called “The Honourable Retreat”, for the handover from British rule back to China on 30th June, 1997. In 2002 he moved to Shanghai to research the complexities of that city's authentic songs of the 1930’s, later composing an album Shanghai Jazz, produced by EMI, and for which a tribute concert was held recently to honour his contributions. He has also written film scores, choral works, and produced, composed, and performed in various music ensembles.

Chinese instrumentalists performing with traditional instruments were a delightful highlight to the festival and the opening piece was Fang Yu on the ‘guqin’ which is one of the worlds oldest instruments.

Guqin


The Shanghai Chinese Music Ensemble played a traditional Chinese folk song “Chun Jiang Hua Yue Ye”, (English translation “Night Along The River”) with other traditional instruments and Lulu Liu played a ‘pipa’ solo called “Ospreys Sporting with Water”. In the second half of evening The Chinese Australian Chamber Ensemble with guest artists Professor Wang Zheng Ting (sheng)and Tony Wheeler (zhong ruan) played a traditional Chinese New Year piece. To round out the evening Australian pianist Michael Kierin Harvey performed “Goldfish” by Debussy and “Mephisto Waltz No.1” by Liszt.

Pipa


Not all the music on offer was instrumental. We were treated to the pentatonic sounds of ‘pingtan’, a traditional Suzhou (Chinese) Opera, which has harmonies in pentatonic scales that align with the ancient instruments of China. Sung in Chinese and a little foreign to the western ear it was accessible because of its use of the pentatonic scale, quite an experience.

The music in this festival is out of the ordinary and the opportunity to experience the worlds’ pre-eminent practitioners playing instruments thousands of years old in their design is exciting and new to Australia. If you missed the Inaugural Chinese Chamber Music Festival put it in your diary for next year. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Peter McGill.

IN CONVERSATION WITH SARAH WATERS

January 26th 2010 00:05

Sydney, Australia - January 2010

MARDI GRAS AT THE SEYMOUR CENTRE


Saucy and sophisticated, the Seymour Center's new partnership with the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras presents a smoldering line-up of music, theatre and conversation across February and March 2010.

Direct from the USA the Kinsey Sicks brings Sydney their cracker show Each Hit and I (2-6 Mar); the fabulous Margaritas star in On the Rocks (25 Feb-6 Mar), and the chilling tale of the perfect crime unfolds in Thrill Me (24 Feb-6 March).

Queer Thinking on 26 February brings Sydney the most influential local and international queer thinkers and literary talent, with a range of fascinating events, at the Seymour including an in-conversation with Sarah Waters.

Cheaper than a drag diva's diamantes dare we say, Seymour is Mardi Gras' best valued fun; with a special double bill package to see Thrill Me and On the Rocks for nearly half price, as well as multi-tix discounts for three or more shows booked.

HATS OFF! 2010 THE HISTORY OF SHOWSTOPPERS
(Tue 22 Feb, 7:30pm, $70-90, all proceeds to charity Everest Theatre)

Hat's Off! returns for an amazing 12th year with a retrospective concert featuring a star studded line-up of Australian musical theatre, comedy, dance and cabaret performers all donating their time and talent to help raise much-needed funds for ACON and BGF. Hats Off! is a Mardi Gras Festival highlight featuring classic showstoppers from West End and Broadway musicals over the last century. Hosted by the hysterical Jan Van de Stool with Garry Scale attempting to lend some sanity to the proceedings, book early as this event will sell out! NB: Directed by Margi de Ferranti, produced by Jonathan Mill and Laurence Stark. Presented by New Mardi Gras and Oz ShowbizCares / Equity Fights AIDS Inc.

THRILL ME: THE LEOPOLD & LOEB STORY (24 Feb - 6 Mar Tue-Sat, 7pm, $20-30 Downstairs Theatre)
Relationships can be murder. Thrill Me is the award-winning Off-Broadway musical that recounts the chilling true story of the legendary duo Leopold and Loeb, who committed one of the most infamous crimes of the 20th century. It's1924, and two wealthy University of Chicago students believe themselves to be Nietzschean supermen, superior to the rest of society. But when they forge their dark plans to commit the perfect crime, things don't unfold exactly as they'd planned. NB: Book, Music & Lyrics by Stephen Dolginoff, a Squabbalogic production directed by Jay James-Moody, produced by Jessica Burns and musical direction by Mark Chamberlain

THE MARGARITAS IN ON THE ROCKS (25 Feb 6 Mar Thu-Sat 9.30pm, $18\25, Downstairs Theatre)
Fast becoming notorious for reworking vintage gems from the 60s, 70s and 80s, Sydney's hilarious female trio, The Margaritas, serve up a delicious mix of cabaret and burlesque with a deliciously wicked sense of humour. Tart and complex with a hint of bitterness, these sophisticated temptresses will add some of your old favourites into the blender and serve them up with a twist for Mardi Gras 2010. NB: Creators Jackeline Laso, Nathalie Cotte, Natalie McCormack

QUEER THINKING (Fri 26 Feb, 12.30-10.30pm, $12-15, (for day pass to any event) Seymour Centre)
A fusion of academia, literature and ideas, Queer Thinking brings together the queer community's best creative and academic talent to discuss their work, explore ideas and reflect upon the 2010 Festival theme, Mardi Gras History of the World including Erwin Olaf, Pedro Virgil, Paul Burston and so many more. This full day of talks, panel discussions, book launches and lively debates features sessions programmed throughout the Seymour, with one ticket providing access to the whole day. See below for more details on the individual events

QUEER THINKING: SARAH WATERS (Fri 26 Feb 6.30pm, $18-25, Everest Theatre)
A highlight of the Queer Thinking day is this on-stage In Conversation event with award-winning author Sarah Waters. Author of the award-winning trilogy of sexy Victorian novels (Tipping the Velvet, Fingersmith, Affinity); The Night Watch, a tender and tragic novel set against the backdrop of wartime Britain; and her most recent novel, The Little Stranger, Sarah Waters has been shortlisted for both the Man Booker Prize and the Orange Prize, and is among the UK's most successful lesbian authors.

Date FRI 26 FEB
Time 6.30PM
Tickets ADULT $25/CONC $20, MULTI-TIX $20/CONC $18*, MARDI GRAS MEMBERS $20
Venue EVEREST THEATRE
After her award-winning trilogy of sexy Victorian novels (Tipping the Velvet, Fingersmith, Affinity), Sarah Waters turned to the 1940s and wrote The Night Watch, a tender and tragic novel set against the backdrop of wartime Britain. Shortlisted for both the Orange and the Man Booker prizes, it went straight to number one in the bestseller chart. Sara's most recent novel, The Little Stranger, was shortlisted for the 2009 Man Booker Prize and again proves why she is among the UK's most successful lesbian authors.

The Beauty Queen of Leenane

January 25th 2010 23:00
The Beauty Queen of Leenane
by Martin McDonagh

20 February to 13 March 2010.
Opens 22 February 2010 at 7pm.

Wharf 2, Sydney Theatre Company, The Wharf, Pier 4, Hickson Road.

With an exceptional cast comprised of Judi Farr, Eamon Farron, Darren Gilshenan and Mandy McElhinney, The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Martin McDonagh is at Sydney Theatre Company’s Wharf 2 from 20 February, opening 22 February.

Directed by Cristabel Sved, the production is part of the Company’s extensive 2010 Education Program (STC Ed), with evening performances open to both school groups and the general public.

Maureen, a middle-aged spinster, lives with her elderly, manipulative mother Mag. Her sisters have flown the nest, escaping the drab family home but Maureen remains at home, trapped in a dysfunctional relationship with her mother. The arrival of an invitation sparks hopes of a last-chance romance and offers Maureen the prospect of an escape to a new life. Things might be looking up for her, but not if her iron-willed mother has anything to do with it.

Loaded with savage irony, surreal humour and a touch of melodrama Martin McDonagh’s The Beauty Queen of Leenane looks at the malevolence of people leading hopeless lives.

The cast is well-known to Sydney audiences, particularly for recent performances in STC Main Stage productions. Judi Farr was nominated for a Sydney Theatre Award for her performance in John Doyle’s The Pig Iron People. Darren Gilshenan is currently on stage in Tot Mom (closing 7 February) and starred in last year’s Elling. Mandy McElhinney has just returned to Australia following STC’s triumphant tour of A Streetcar Named Desire to Washington and New York.

Cristabel Sved has worked as a director, actor, teacher and dramaturg with companies including Sydney Theatre Company, Griffin Theatre Company, Darlinghurst Theatre Company, Red Stitch Actor’s Company and NIDA. She holds a BA (Hons) in Performance from UWS and is a graduate of NIDA’s directing course. Cristabel was a founding member of Darlinghurst Theatre Company, was Griffin Theatre Company’s inaugural Affiliate Director in 2009 and has been a member of the B Sharp Artistic Committee since 2008.

Al Di Meola with World Sinfonia

January 10th 2010 03:56
Al Di Meola with World Sinfonia
Touring Australia & New Zealand
from March 2010

Legendary guitarist, Al Di Meola is bringing his 6-piece Latin Jazz Fusion band World Sinfonia to our shores in March 2010. One of the most prominent virtuosos in the contemporary instrumental jazz field, Al Di Meola’s dazzling technique on both acoustic and electric guitars is unmatched, extending to fluid arpeggios flying at breakneck speed and beautiful, slow vibrato-laden melodies.



The tour commences in Perth and extends through NSW, Queensland, New Zealand, Tasmania, South Australia and ACT. Provocative and enchanting, Al Di Meola’s intriguing union of complex rhythms, lyrical melodies and sophisticated harmonies ensures an unforgettable aural sensation.

Known for his guitar mastery, Al Di Meola has twenty one recordings, three gold albums and has recorded and played with a number of illustrious names including Paul Simon, Phil Collins, Santana, Luciano Pavarotti, Jimmy Page, Stevie Wonder, Frank Zappa, Chick Corea, Steve Winwood, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Jaco Pastorius, Les Paul, Jean Luc Ponty, Steve Vai, Milton Naciemento, Egberto Gismonti, and many more.

Early in his career Al Di Meola was bestowed a Grammy, as part of Chick Corea’s Return To Forever. He has been voted World’s Best Guitarist several times by Guitar Player Magazine and has had sold out concerts across the world including Bulgaria and the United States.

Al Di Meola’s finds inspiration in music cultures across the world including sounds from Argentina, Brazil, Israel and the Mediterranean and in acoustic genres such as flamenco and the tango. The depth of his writing along with the soulfulness of his guitar expression have won this guitar virtuoso legions of fans worldwide, having played over many years to sell out shows across Europe, Canada and his native USA.
Of Di Meola, Guitar historian Robert Lynch said: “In the history of the electric guitar, no one figure has done more to advance the instrument in a purely technical manner than Al Di Meola. His total command of the various styles and scales is simply mind-boggling.”

Strange Breaks and Mr. Thing

October 23rd 2009 02:46
The Main Ingredients & Funkdafied Present
SAMPLED
'Strange Breaks & Mr Thing' Mix CD Launch
THIS FRIDAY - 23rd OCTOBER
@ Melt - 12 Kellett St, Kings Cross

Featuring:
DJ Mr. Thing (Ex Scratch Pervert / UK)
Katalyst
Naiki
Peter Glass
JC



** $15 ticket through Moshtix or $20 on the door **

** Happy Hour cocktails between 10pm and 12am **


FREE DOWNLOAD: Mr. Thing 'Portable Anorak' Mix HERE

The Main Ingredients & Funkdafied step back in time and dig deep in the crates for the album launch of ‘Strange Breaks and Mr. Thing’ - a five part ultimate breaks and beats series paying homage to the popular ‘Strange Games’ Series on the BBE label.
Get ready to be educated as class is in session!

Known popularly as Mr. Thing, this supreme DJ first started spinning in 1987. The first Hip Hop record I bought was Streetsounds Crucial Electro and my first import 12" was BDP's POERY but my first actual record was - (cringing) Adam & The Ants "Kings Of The Wild Frontier"

From these humble beginnings Mr. Thing went on to become one the World's finest DJ's as testified by the following accomplishments.

DMC TEAM WORLD CHAMP (SCRATCH PERVERTS) 1999
DMC UK CHAMP 2000
DMC WORLD 3RD PLACE 2000

Mr. Thing doesn't stand still with spinning records. Alongside amassing a fantastic record collection from digging trips across every continent, he practiced his production skills and has gone on to remix and produce records for a credible assortment of UK acts.

BBE and Mr. Thing have known each other for over 10 years and it was just natural that this collaboration had to happen. The result is Strange Breaks and Mr. Thing a five part ultimate breaks and beats series and a homage to the popular Strange Games Series on the label.


I wanted to do an extension of my 'Anorak' series of mixtapes, which were already a homage if you like to Kon & Amir, Muro & the Conmen etc, but put some stuff out there that covered all bases of music & breaks from the ultra rare to some reasonably common stuff people might have passed up before!

Mr. Thing is a world class DJ capable of rocking any party in any town and has performed/toured with DJ Jazzy Jeff, J Live, Marley Marl, Beastie Boys, DJ Premier, DJ Vadim, Run DMC, Slum Village, Mark B & Blade, KRS One and Jehst.

The Song Company
A Free-Range Christmas
Sunday 29 November at 3pm

More and more, music lovers are discovering the delights of the Song Company. And if they're not, they should be - The musicality of the songs and their arrangements, as well as the choice of repertoire itself, is exceptional - something the Song Company is renowned for. But also significant in this concert is a focus on simple, old-fashioned storytelling - The performers themselves have good, sometimes beautiful voices and deliver the repertoire with charisma and humour. Never boring, this concert is a celebration of Christmas, of story-telling and of faultless music.
State of the Arts, December 2005


In celebration of the festive season, Big Notes presents The Song CompanyÂ’s A Free-Range Christmas. This Christmas celebration for all creatures great and small is playing at Riverside Theatres on Sunday 29 November 2009 for one performance only.

This reprise of the very popular Christmas show, A Free-Range Christmas, by the 'un-embarrassable' Song Company stars Clive Birch, Mark Donnelly and Richard Black.

A Free-Range Christmasutilises old fashioned story telling with a modern twist. It is a humourous family friendly performance featuring serious and beautiful music. In A Free-Range Christmas, The Song Company is let loose in a menagerie of animals from around the world, domestic or wild, alive or extinct, big and furry or small and slimy. Wolves, oxen, cats and dogs, tigers and lambs, donkeys, ducks, dogs and doves all join in for this extravaganza of songs, carols, stories and poems delivered by The Song Company in its inimitable way.

Formed by Charles Colman in 1984, The Song Company is a group of six full-time professional singers led by internationally acclaimed Artistic Director, Roland Peelman. The Song Company aims to create a distinctive and dynamic new voice, relevant to the audiences of today and tomorrow. A Free-Range Christmas reflects this with their broad repertoire of songs, carols, stories and poems, from early music, through to modern classical vocal arrangements, which include Nuns of Chester Carol, Animal Songs, Carols from France and Winnie the Pooh.

Adults will enjoy this as something for the kids, while children will detect that undisguishable thread of coy adult humour throughoutÂ… the Song Company again showed themselves not only unembarrassable, but brilliantÂ… as one of Australia's most outstanding music ensembles, they scrimp and save, helping young composers and spreading delight with an always-generous spirit
