Kairos, from the Ancient Greek, καιρός: the opportune time, the right time, the time which should be seized.
A premiere performance of Phillippa Murphy-Haste's work for 7 musicians. Drawing on influences including Ravel, Duruflé, Jimmy Giuffre, Ornette Coleman, Joshua Roseman, Vaughan Williams, Ólafur Arnalds, as well as rituals from her childhood, the performance is an homage to ephemerality. The project is a combination of two ensembles; Microfiche and Alterity. Microfiche are a composer-performer collective formed in 2015 featuring Phillippa Murphy-Haste (clarinets and viola), Sam Gill (saxes), Nicholas Calligeros (trumpet, electronics), Novak Manojlovic (piano, synth), Max Alduca (double bass), Holly Conner (drums, percussion, electronics). Alterity is the duo of Paul Cutlan (clarinets, flutes) and Murphy-Haste (clarinets). Kairos is composed by Phillippa Murphy-Haste and has been collectively arranged with the ensemble.
The work is supported by the Freedman Foundation.
