Elena Kats-Chernin
Composer/pianist
Friday 26 April 2024 7:30pm
The Sydney Morning Herald recently wrote of Elena Kats-Chernin that her ‘status as one of this country’s most prolific and consistently innovative composers remains unchallenged… She appears to achieve the impossible, straddling the two seemingly irreconcilable camps of intellectualism and accessibility’. Elena has created works in nearly every genre. Among her many commissions are pieces for Ensemble Modern, the Bang on a Can All-Stars, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Adelaide, Tasmanian, and Sydney Symphony Orchestras, Present Music, City of London Sinfonia, Swedish Chamber Orchestra and the North Carolina Symphony. (Elena performed in Coffs Harbour 6 years ago to an enthusiastic, appreciative, full house.) Book your tickets early!
