Alana Blackburn, Ros Bandt and Kimberley Scriven join the Melbourne Recorder Academy for a special day celebrating the recorder!
As part of our 10 year anniversary, the Recorder Co-op is teaming up with Ros Bandt, Alana Blackburn and Jim Atkins for a very special concert.
Currawongs Calling is a flood of sonorous sound fields from Australia which plea for environmental action and care for country. Premiered by the Recorder Co-op with guest artists Ros Bandt, Alana Blackburn & Jim Atkins, this immersive surround-sound performance spans 50 years of Bandt’s environmental advocacy. By blending ancient renaissance recorders with audiovisuals and field recordings, the performance highlights the more-than-human world, from currawongs to devastating tornados. It is a stunning, sonorous call to humans reminding us of the importance of caring for water, wildlife and country.
Featuring guest artists Ros Bandt, Alana Blackburn and Jim Atkins, with the Recorder Co-op.
When: Sun 20 Sep 4:00 PM

Melbourne Recorder Academy
MRA brings talented young recorder players together in ensembles to make music at the highest possible level.
We aim to create an inspiring community and music making opportunities for young recorder players, lead by professional musicians. Our hope is that the MRA ensembles, concerts, website and teaching will provide an avenue for recorder players and teachers to form a supportive network of resources and collaboration, adding to the already vibrant recorder teaching occurring in many corners of Australia.
The MRA is a project of The Recorder Co-op which is generously funded by the DCMT and VRG. Check out the website to find out more.
Registration for November MRA Workshop in will be opening in July 2024. Stay updated via facebook or through the website.
