Last night, the Sounstream Collective, under artistic director, Gabriella Smart, delivered a little gem of a program in its latest Great Music in Great Spaces series. Focused around Victoria Square (Tarntanyangga), audience members were first dished up Stavinsky by clarinettist Peter Handsworth from the 14th floor office of Woods Bagot, presenting below a bold view of Victoria Square, now completely cleared but for the core of the Three Rivers Fountain.
From there, we buried ourselves in the Tunnels beneath the Aldina Hotel (the old Treasury building) to hear Bach by German, Eric Soucy, on his viola. Finally the two together played in the ante room of the new Collins Bar at the Hilton Hotel.
Dashes of the old and the new, the staid and the shocking presented in a neat walking tour that explored in just two hours a number of aspects of Adelaide, music and architecture, in theory and in practice.
Do treat yourself to the next in the series (check the website – www.soundstream.org.au – but before then join both Handsworth and Soucy at another great space, the Samstag Art Museum, this Saturday from 4-6pm as they play to help usher in Crowd Theory Adelaide’- Victoria Square by Simon Terrill to that institutions collection.
