ELISION is Australia’s leading new music ensemble.  The group has established a reputation for delivering authoritative and virtuosic interpretations of complex, unusual, and challenging aesthetics, often developed in close collaboration with the composer. The practice of the ensemble ranges from concert giving to cross-disciplinary projects with a range of new media and visual artists. Installation-performance works and the use of improvisational experiences as a creative tool to inform more structured and formally notated music have been a key element of the group’s activities. ELISION has developed strong and close artistic relationships with composers such as Liza Lim, Aaron Cassidy, Richard Barrett, Timothy McCormack, and Evan Johnson.

The workshops and concert are open to members of the public. Admission is free.
