Collusion Music Ensemble, four of Australia's most active classical chamber musicians will be recording new Australian Art Music for their CD series 'Flashpoint.' The ensemble has already been in the studio this year to record CD 1 of the series, works by Messiaen and Hindemith feature. 
Collusion is fundraising for the recording of a disc of Australian Art Music which is accessible, interesting, enchanting, charming and often playful. Collusion proposes the recording of music by Queensland and Australian composers Gerard Brophy, Susan Hawkins, Andrew Ball, Joseph Twist, Nigel Sabin, and Thomas Green will occur at this stage.
YOU can support this great endeavour and receive a reward that will last. Support of $80 or higher not only gets you our 2 new CDs (like a $60 donation), it wins you an acknowledgement in the CD booklet, and higher donations wins you an individual acknowledgement on a page and/or track or even the cover of the CD booklet or case.....so check out our rewards. Support of $80 or higher also gets you an invite to our official CD launch!
Recording projects are expensive. Venue hire, piano tuning, sound engineering, venue management, CD design, editing............the list of costs goes on and on, and what about paying the musicians?
Collusion's musicians receive little or no direct renumeration from projects such as these. The musicians are all well regarded freelance musicians. They perform, educate, research and perform commercially to afford to work on artistically satisfying projects like this. AGAIN....support this worthy artistic cause.
Collusion has been performing an eclectic mix of Art Music for audiences throughout Queensland and New South Wales since 2002. They are interested in the performance of new Australian works for combinations of their ensemble.
It is 10 years in 2012 since founding members Benjamin Greaves (violin/viola) and Danielle Bentley (cello/festival director) formed Collusion. Along with Brieley Cutting (piano) and Diana Tolmie (clarinet/saxophone) Collusion is a powerhouse of experienced, specialised chamber musicians with vast experience and repertoire. In 2012 the ensemble introduces Gareth Belling as resident choreographer.
In 2012 Collusion will tour NSW, ACT, Tasmania and Queensland performing both evening recital performances and Musica Viva in-schools concerts. They will perform at the Crossbow (Qld Conservatorium of Music) and Restrung Festivals (Brisbane Powerhouse) directed by our own Danielle Bentley, the Brisbane Chamber Music Series, the University of Queensland Music Series and the Commercial Rd Chamber Music Series (Theme and Variations series) directed by our own Brieley Cutting.
The ensemble of seasoned freelance musicians are presenters for Musica Viva Australia Education and Countrywide, have performed at Festivals throughout Queensland and NSW. The ensemble has performed with a variety of artists including respected choreographer Gareth Belling, dancers of the Queensland Ballet, and director/actors including Andrew Cory. Painters, Poets, Photographers, and Circus Artists have participated in Collusion performances to offer the audience an artist’s visual perspective of the music.
For many years the ensemble performed an annual series of four concerts. It is currently working as a project based company with productions under development. In collaboration with Musica Viva Australia Education, Collusion is a leader in the performance of classical music in schools.
The performers of Collusion are highly regarded freelance soloists, chamber musicians, orchestral musicians and educators who perform for professional Orchestras and chamber ensembles through Australia and abroad.
