Music / “Four Winds Festival 2021”, Bermagui, April 2-4. Reviewed by ROB KENNEDY.
AFTER a spellbinding couple of days at the 2021 Four Winds Festival, the final day, Sunday, April 4, hosted more musical and artistic treats.
To add to the delightful ambience, at the end of Saturday and Sunday’s afternoon performances, in the Windsong Pavilion, music aficionado Graham Abbott held conversations with festival artists and directors over drinks and food.
The Muffat Collective on strings with Hamed Sadeghi playing the Tar, an Iranian lute-like instrument, performed musical interactions between the sounds of the east and west. Responding to Muffat’s playing with improvisatory moments, Sadeghi and the players created an intimate world of unique sounds. With music by Francois Couperin, Bagio Marini and others, they brought a stillness to the festival that matched the nature we were in.
