New York-based Australian musician, the “warm and wonderful Lisa Moore” (TimeOut NY), returns to Wollongong for the first time since the 1990s. She will perform a collection of songs, rags and new piano music, linking and connecting works within her playbook – from Philip Glass, David Lang and Leoš Janáček to Randy Newman, Martin Bresnick, and Elena Kats-Chernin. Given a blend of commentary and music, journeying through natural imagery and human souls – the mist, the Dalai Lama, and Ishi’s healing song – the listener experiences a type of ‘totalist’ life journey, glimpsed through the fullness of unique works and the musical expression of beauty, feeling, color, and drama.
