The Voyage of Musical Discovery series was established and designed by the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra and its founding artistic director and world-renowned educator, the late Richard Gill.
The first Voyage of Musical Discovery introduces, demonstrates and explains key concepts of design and innovation in music across the centuries.
These two works by Elgar and Holst were created to be performed by talented secondary school musicians. In their early days as composers, both used different techniques to manipulate tone colour and this affected the very structure of the music in these two works for strings.

In the second half, pianist Tamara-Anna Cislowska teams up with composer/pianist Elena Kats-Chernin to perform contemporary works for piano four hands. The forms expand vertically as well as horizontally, and compositional textures develop in real time through building improvisation into the performance.
