Canberra International Music Festival / Concert 13, “Up Close at Gorman”, Gorman Arts Centre, May 5. Reviewed by
ROB KENNEDY.
CLOSE UP, intimate and fun was the experience for the audience in this Canberra International Music Festival concert over seven spaces in the Gorman Arts Centre in Braddon.
Concert 13 at the 2021 CIMF titled “Up Close at Gorman” began with the multi-talented Ariana Odermatt. Playing the clavicytherium, which is an itsy-bitsy vertical harpsichord that creates a booming resonance for the performer because the soundboard is in the player’s face. The very early music performed was “De che le morta la mia signora”, Anon early 16th century, “O ye tender babes” by Thomas Tallis (1505-1585) and “Proœmium in re” by Hans Kotter (1485-1541).

THERE were “Happy Dance Day” greetings all round this morning (April 19) at Belco Arts, with the launch of International Dance Day and Ausdance ACT’s Dance Week.
ACT Arts Minister, Tara Cheyne was on hand to perform the honours, while describing the coming program as “breathtaking” and praising Australia for its diversification and lowering the barriers to make sure we could all “dance more and dance often”.
Ausdance ACT CEO Cathy Adamek was moved to tears as she read the Dance Day statement for 2021 from Stuttgart Ballet’s Friedemann Vogel, which began: “everything with movement and dance is movement, movement refined to communicate”.
