Celebrating Australia’s leading percussion ensembles, Synergy Percussion and Taikoz, and Australia’s most innovative dance company, Shaun Parker & Company.
Shaun Parker & Company is one of Australia’s most wide-reaching dance companies. An innovator and pusher of boundaries, its work is widely accessible and has broad appeal, and its intrinsic relationship to music is a particular feature. Led by artistic director and choreographer Shaun Parker, the company has toured across Australia and internationally.
Synergy Percussion is Australia’s longest running and foremost contemporary music ensemble. A world of sound with percussion at its heart, the group recently celebrated 40 years of concerts, collaborations, recordings and commissions. Synergy Percussion remains vital and fiercely committed to defying expectations of what percussion music might aptly express.
Taikoz has an international reputation for vibrant performances that couple explosive energy and extreme dynamism with refinement and grace. From the most delicate melodies of the shakuhachi to the thunderous impact of the odaiko, Taikoz is at once meditative and free-spirited, primal and dramatic.
