Blind Trust returns….
Back in 2018 we were inspired by aristo party games and sensory stimulation theory to create a different way of listening.
Ushered into a darkened space with vivid acoustics, we introduced luxury blindfolds and performed musical masterpieces for an audience that heard every note like never before. Moving, visceral and unexpected, we once again invite you to Blind Trust - a concert for a blindfolded audience.
And of course we have a special treat in store, as our collaborator is the renowned American harpist Emily Granger. Emily has just released her debut album to over a million listeners and completed her first Australian Tour, showing that in her hands the harp becomes so much more than we all imagine. When Emily performs you will not want to look away - no peeking!
And to make these concerts even more special, we are performing within The wound is the place where the light enters - the new solo exhibition of the internationally acclaimed photographic and video artist Leila Jeffreys. Leila is best known for her captivating images of birds that, (just like the Art Quartet), simultaneously explore and subvert artistic traditions.
Each performance will commence with a complimentary drinks reception and personally guided tour by Leila, all within the beautiful acoustics of the Olsen Gallery Woollahra. What could make a better spring night out?
