Piano+Place Artists: Sophie Hutchings, David Bridie, Jim Moginie and Chris Abrahams
Discover a secret Sydney with co-curators Jim Moginie from Midnight Oil and Ross Heathcote at a bespoke series of piano performances by iconic Australian artists in heritage Sydney spaces.
Every Friday throughout July look forward to inspired and diverse music, through the original compositions, interpretations, and improvisations by four contemporary Australian musicians – Jim Moginie, Chris Abrahams ARIA-award winning jazz musician and member of The Necks, Sophie Hutchings internationally-renowned Sydney pianist, and award-winning songwriter and composer David Bridie from the seminal 80’s and 90’s alt-pop group Not Drowning, Waving and My Friend the Chocolate Cake, as they explore through the piano the spectacular acoustics of famed Sydney locations.
Each venue has been chosen for its strong and singular spirit of place, including the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park, Elizabeth Bay House, Paddington Town Hall and the State Library of NSW.
