​Alessandra Garosi (piano) and Adam Simmons (saxophone, bass clarinet and shakuhachi) invited the audience to share an intimate musical conversation, alternatively poignant and quiet, aggressive and loud, all the while exploring the depths of their instruments and pushing the boundaries of sound.
It was an extraordinary performance of virtuosity and interplay between these world class musicians in Ballarat. Garosi and Simmons were as one, finely attuned to the nuances in dynamics, rhythmic punctuations, and an interaction of timbres.
This unshakeable duo gave us a lesson in how musicians can support, communicate and respect each other's musical expression.
