Live at Level 28 2018

A Wonderful Night!

Guests were met with a kaleidoscope of sound and colour Thursday 7 June, as they filtered through the rooms of the Allen’s private contemporary Australian art collection.

On the 28th level of the Deutsche Bank Building, overlooking Sydney Harbour, a night of delicious food and spectacular music was about to begin. Umberto Clerici, principal cellist of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, was the curator behind the musical installations.

The opportunity for us to work alongside Umberto Clerici in the weeks before the event was an enjoyable experience for all. The aim was for the audience to view each performance as they would pieces of art in an exhibition. Thus, each of our solo and chamber performances were paired with individual artworks in the Allen’s collection. Rehearsals took place two weeks prior to the event, with Umberto as Artistic Director. These rehearsals were engaging and fun, as we were encouraged to look beyond the notes and delve into the mystery and art behind each piece of music. For me, playing Elizabeth Brown’s modern piece Arcana and Jaques Ibert’s Piece alongside artist Tim Johnson’s eclectic style was a great reminder of the connection that exists between the art of sound and art of colour.

A mix of eight chamber groups and soloists opened the night, before guests moved to the main stage, with panoramic views of the harbour and Vivid Sydney. Here they were treated to a performance by a chamber orchestra, playing Greig’s Holberg Suite. Then the final piece, Giovanni Sollima’s Hell 1 (for strings and solo cello) was performed by Umberto Clerici and the musicians of The Sydney Youth Orchestra. After the lively Greig, the lyrical Sollima was a beautiful ending to the night, captivating the audience until the very last note.

We are so thankful to Umberto and the SYO team for organising a successful and enjoyable night for all. Thank you also to the generosity of the sponsors and donors on the night, who not only were a wonderful audience, but pledged towards SYO’s Opportunity Fund. For those interested in contributing, the Opportunity Fund is still open for donations.
