Marshall McGuire, harp & Genevieve Lacey, recorder/s
Enter a genre-defying artwork where you can watch, listen, or fall into moving pictures of thought via live performance, drawing, film and soundscape.
Inspired by physics diagrams, astral photography, and graphic musical scores Diagrammatica is an ever-evolving improvisation. An extended meeting between logic and abstraction.
Created by Jason Maling, in collaboration with sound artists Madeleine Flynn and Tim Humphrey, along with filmmaker Rhian Hinkley, it’s an interactive living diagram, accessible from the underground. Sparks of ideas float freely and coalesce. Musicians perform out of view through a hyper-directional audio system. Shifting soundscapes submerge you.
Go deeper into the rift, with an intimate, subterranean experience in Slot 9. Or stay out in the open, above ground to watch the happenings for free in the Atrium.

Niels Bijl — saxophones
James Sherlock — guitar
Marshall McGuire — harp
Ben Hanlon — bass
Two duos - saxophone and harp - guitar and double bass - will play a selection of well known, well-loved classical pieces by Bach, Faure, Piazzola, Schumann, Satie and others.
The Bijl/McGuire duo will play the printed scores and after their performance the Sherlock/Hanlon duo will follow with spontaneous versions on the main themes.
This brings musical improvisation to classical music - a common idea in earlier times. Most composers from J S Bach onwards were masters of improvisation, and thus this concert revives a wonderful tradition in Art music. Tony Gould

Marshall McGuire and Genevieve Lacey have performed together across the world, from prestigious venues and festivals in Moscow, Paris, and London, to the Lindau International Convention for Nobel Laureates, and further afield to shearing sheds, football ovals, and remote properties in Australia.
Their 2021 album Bower celebrated their more than 20-year collaboration, winning the ARIA for Best Classical Recording. This performance takes excerpts from Bower and mines their extensive catalogue of music for the exquisite combination of recorders and harp, with compositions from sumptuous Renaissance and Baroque courts to contemporary Australian works written especially for them.
