Rustiques - Sunday 7th March 2021 - 11 am Kangaroo Valley Village Hall

The entire wealth and colourful variety of village life resounds in ‘Rustiques’, a collection of music rich in harmonic colouring and undulating rhythms. In a one-hour intimate recital, the vibrant constellation of four woodwind soloists beautifully evoke pastoral fields and lazy summer breezes, spritely gigues and rêveries of the French countryside, and the youthful rondos and peasants dances of Eastern Europe. Highlighting the contrasts in musical styles of the cultures it moves through, there are even moments which give way to that of the 'Brasilofonian' contracanto, improvised pan-Brazilian street music. Brimming with influences from around the globe, ‘Rustiques’ promises an hour of works that are robust in flavour and unapologetically cheerful in disposition.
